Bukina Faso's President resigns following riot and military coup.

The President of Burkina Faso, Blaise Campaore
has resigned from office following yesterday's
massive protest by people who were opposed to
the elongation of his 27 years tenure. In a
statement released today, Campaore said his
seat was vacant and urged his people to
conduct an election in the next 90 days.
Mr Compaore had earlier said he would remain
in power until a transitional government had
completed its work in 2015, a position the
opposition parties and the army refused, forcing
him to resign from power. His whereabouts is
currently unknown.
In the meantime, Bukina Faso's army chief
Nabere Honore Traore has taken over power and
has instituted a transitional body that would
conduct elections for the seat of the president in
the next 90 days.
