At this moment, six ECOWAS Heads of State are arriving Ouagadougou, the capital city, to witness the formal re-installation of Bukina Faso's Interim President, Michel Kafando, and to resolve other vital issues like the amnesty plan for the Putschists, and whether upcoming elections should be open to supporters of previously deposed veteran dictator Blaise Compaoré.
This development came about after marathon talks in the capital of regional and military heavyweight in Nigeria, brokered by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and threats by the French President, Francois Hollande, that the coup leaders should surrender immediately or face the “consequences”, including possible sanctions.
President Kafando said “The transition has been restored and this very minute I am resuming the exercise of power".
