Burkina Faso transition: Junta leader's term extended by five years

Burkina Faso's military leader will remain in power until 2029. Ibrahim Traore was due to hand over leadership to a civilian government in July. But a new charter has extended the transitional period by another five years. Traore assumed power after staging a coup in 2022. He has repeatedly warned that holding elections would be difficult, because of the security challenges. Around half of Burkina Faso's territory remains outside of government control.
