Burkina Faso's president back in charge as coup fails

Michel Kafando addressed his supporters and West African leaders who flew to the capital of the West African state to negotiate the terms of the end to the coup, in which troops under General Gilbert Diendere briefly took power.

The leaders from ECOWAS - the Economic Community of West African States - later met the coup leaders and transitional authorities.

While Kafandos restoration marks the end of the coup attempt, questions remain, including how to disarm the presidential guard and whether the coup leaders will be brought to trial.

Many in the country said they opposed an initial ECOWAS proposal that included amnesty for the coup leaders.
