More than 300 military officials, politicians and community leaders are meeting in Burkina Faso to chart the country’s future following its second coup in less than a year.
They are expected to agree that elections should be held by July 2024.
Demonstrators in the capital, Ouagadougou, say they want coup leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré to be the interim president.
He says he doesn’t want the job.
Like his predecessor, Lt-Gen General Paul-Henri Damiba, Capt Traoré justified the coup by saying the authorities were failing to deal with Islamist insurgents.
