Burkina
Faso: Military leaders agree power transition plan
Lt Col Zida was
previously second in command of the presidential guard
Burkina Faso's political parties have agreed that the
country's political transition should last a year, followed by elections in
November 2015.
But the crisis talks in the capital Ouagadougou ended without a deal on who
would head a transitional government. The military has been in charge since President Blaise Compaore was forced to quit last week amid mass protests.
The African Union (AU) on Monday gave the military two weeks to hand power to a civilian ruler or face sanctions.
Lt Col Isaac Zida - the interim leader backed by the army - later promised to comply with the deadline. He was previously second in command of the presidential guard.
Am happy the transition talks have started,cause military reign does not exist in Africa.
