The junta who called themselves the Patriotic Movement for Safeguard and Restoration, said they agreed to dissolve government because Christian Kabore failed to secure the country.

They promised to restore constitutional order later while shutting down the country’s borders.

The development has drawn strong criticism from the United Nations, UN.

UN Secretary Antonio Guterres advised the soldiers to ensure that the dethroned president is “protected”.
