In Burkina Faso, protests that forced the ouster of the longtime president are now opposing an apparent military coup. President Blaise Compaoré stepped down on Friday after demonstrations against his bid to extend a 27-year rule. But the Burkina Faso military immediately dissolved parliament, imposed martial law and installed a top commander as transitional leader. Thousands of people rallied in the capital against the military over the weekend. The United Nations is calling for a peaceful transfer to civilian rule.
