BURKINA FASO: PRESIDENT ROCH KABORE SURVIVES ASSASINAT

 President ROCH KABORE today, 24TH January, 2022, narrowly escaped assassination attempt, as the military takes over leadership in the West Africa country. Series of gunfire were heard very close to the government House in Ouagadougou. Though, the military had announced a take over of government function and that the national assembly has also been dissolved. This information was broadcasted on the national television, by the military spokesperson Capt. Sidsore Kader Ouedraogo.

The national military council also said that the boarders will be closed from 9pm to 5am until further notice. They admonished the citizenry to be law abiding as they go about performing their duties without any harassment from any quarter. The coup was led by Lt. Col. Paul Henri Sandaogo Damiba  he was promoted to his new rank just November 2021.

The people were seen singing, dancing and jubilating in celebration since the news broke about the military take over. And from the look of things, it seems they are happy and they solemnly welcomed the military ousting a democratically elected Government. 

Come to think of it Burkina Faso had been enmeshed in a dwindling Economy for awhile now, and it seems that the former Government of the just ousted President lacked what to do. As things are getting worst by each coming and each passing day. Inflation ratio is hyper as the cost of living each day is extremely difficult. 

Though, both ECOWAS, AU and UN had since condemned the coup in a strongest term. Its only a matter of time, we shall find out if they would bow to pressure and return the once peaceful country back to democracy.

And for now the where about of the former President is still unknown but the military claims that he is doing just fine.
