Interim Burkina Faso President Michel Kafando shaking hands with Prime Minister Lt-Col Isaac Zida are being held hostage by the Presidential guard in the country.
Members of Compaore's powerful Presidential Security Regiment (RSP) "burst into the cabinet room at 2:30 pm and kidnapped the President of Burkina Faso Michel Kafando and Prime Minister Isaac Zida, and two ministers (Augustin Loada and Rene Bagoro)," interim parliament speaker Cheriff Sy said in a statement sent to AFP.
The United Nations and the African Union have condemned the move, calling for the immediate release of the Interim President and other cabinet members.
