Burkina Faso approves three years military-led transition before elections
A national conference in Burkina Faso has approved a charter that will allow the ruling military government to hold power for three years.
The military had seized power in a coup against President Roch Kabore, blaming him for failing to contain surging violence by Islamist militants.
The coup was led by Paul-Henri Damiba, who is now the interim president.
The charter was approved and signed by Damiba yesterday, after a debate in Ouagadougou, the capital of the country.
Damiba had earlier said the country would return to constitutional order when the time was right.
A commission that drafted the charter had proposed a two-and-a-half-year transition, saying the junta needed about two years to stabilise the country and organise elections, but the national conference extended it to three years.
The new regime would establish a transitional government made up of 25 ministers and a 71-member parliament.
