The military in Burkina Faso says it has overthrown President Roch Kaboré. They said he had failed to unite the nation. And that he hasn’t effectively dealt with a growing security crisis. Burkina Faso has been fighting militants linked to the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda. So, how have people there reacted to the coup? And what might be next for Burkina Faso?
