Burkina Faso’s army on Saturday dismissed an announcement by some military leaders that they had seized
power in the West African country as an “internal crisis” within the military.
“Following an internal crisis within the national armed forces, a few units have taken control of some ar-
teries of the city of Ouagadougou, demanding the departure of Lieutenant-Colonel (Paul-Henri Sandaogo)
Damiba. Dialogue is ongoing,” the army’s general staff said in a statement.
The army officers who have seized power in Burkina Faso said in televised comments on Saturday that top-
pled junta leader Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba was planning a counteroffensive from a “French base”.

Damiba “is believed to have taken ref-

uge in the French base at Kamboinsin in
order to plan a counter-offensive to stir up
trouble in our defence and security forc-
es,” they said in a statement read out on
national television and signed by Captain
Ibrahim Traore, the country’s new strong-
man.
