Burkina Faso: Parliament House set ablaze
Anti-government
protesters in Burkina Faso today set their National parliament ablaze
following a decision by members of parliament to review the country's
constitution to allow President Blaise Compaore extend his 27-year rule.
The parliament members were due
to vote on a change on their constitution which would allow the sitting
president, Blaise Compaore - who took power in a coup in 1987 - to
stand for re-election again next year, when he was due to stand down.
