Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Burkina Faso\u2019s President Roch Marc Christian Kabore has been arrested.<\/p>\n

On Monday, mutinous soldiers declared that his government failed to support them during a deadly insurgency.<\/p>\n

Heavy gunfire was heard Sunday night near Kabore\u2019s residence, Ouagadougou, the capital<\/p>\n

Armoured vehicles in the fleet of the president are riddled with bullets. One had bloodstains.<\/p>\n

Kabore is reportedly being held at a military camp while major locations are witnessing an increased number of military personnel.<\/p>\n

Dozens of hooded soldiers have been stationed at the state media building, RTB, suggesting there might be a broadcast soon.<\/p>\n

It is believed that negotiations between the coup plotters and Defence Minister, General Barthelemy Simpore broke down.<\/p>\n

The situation means the coup wave in Africa, which started in 2020, has spilt into 2022.<\/p>\n

Mutineers in Mali, headed by Colonel Assimi Goita, removed President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita in August 2018.<\/p>\n

In September 2021, elite soldiers in Guinea, led by Col Mamady Doumbouya, ousted President Alpha Conde.<\/p>\n

Sudan went through a coup in October 2021 after an initial failed attempt. The military reinstated civilian authority after a deal but remains involved in government.<\/p>\n
