I was interested in why there's a coup. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-60102087 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-60102087 The mutineers made several demands, including: * the dismissal of the army chief of staff and the head of the intelligence service * the deployment of more troops to the front line to fight the insurgents * better care for wounded solders, and the families of those killed in battle. This apparently centers around: > The killing of 53 people by suspected jihadists in November heightened public outrage against the government, and raised fears that the military would take power - just as it had in neighbouring Mali in May. > On Saturday, dozens of people were arrested in Ouagadougou for holding a banned rally to protest against what they described as the government's inability to deal with the militants.
