Burkina Faso: Tensions mounting after army seizes power

Tensions are mounting in Burkina Faso after Army chief Gen Honore Traore seized power following the ousting of Blaise Compaore from his 27-year presidency.

Army chief Gen Honore Traore said he had taken over, but it was not clear if he had the backing of all the military.

The BBC's Laeila Adjovi reports from Ouagadougou, where a protest rally has been taking place.
