Burkina Faso army issues ultimatum to coup leaders

Military troops loyal to Burkina Faso’s deposed government are massing in capital, Ouagadougou, to disarm the presidential guard who staged the coup last week. The military have told the presidential guard to disarm and surrender by 10 am (GMT) or face attack.
