A huge revolt was staged by the soldiers in Burkina Faso in their respective army bases as they called out the extremism being practiced by the army.
They protested against the violent practices and demanded the departure of army chiefs while also urging the government to make a way to fight the growing extremism in a better way.
Among the many problems that the country and people are facing, the army uprising is the latest threat to president Roch Marc Christian Kaboré. This is coming in line with the growing jihadist violence that struck the country in 2015.
A supporter of the army claimed, “We have seen enough, we don’t want the crying, we don’t want the orphans. We have seen enough, the president must leave.” He also added that no matter what, they will continue to support the soldiers.
