Burkina Faso’s military government says it has stopped a plot to assassinate President Ibrahim Traore and destabilize the country.
According to the security minister, the plan involved both military and civilian actors working together to create unrest.
The government also claimed the plot was funded from Ivory Coast, though no evidence has been made public so far.
Ivory Coast and former leader Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba have not responded to the allegations.
