Burkina Faso: Coup leaders sign agreement to withdraw
Burkina Faso’s elite presidential guards, who recently staged a coup in the country, have signed an agreement with the army, pledging to withdraw from their positions.
The deal came about following negotiations in the city of Abuja the capital city of Nigeria late on Tuesday.
The guards, known as the Regiment of Presidential Security (RSP), who are loyalists to former President Blaise Compaoré, staged the putsch last Wednesday by detaining the country’s interim leaders.
