Burkina Faso army retakes coup guard barracks in Ouagadougou

Burkina Faso's interim government says the army has retaken the barracks of the presidential guard which was taken by guards following the coup earlier this month. 

Coup leader Gen Gilbert Diendere, whose whereabouts are still unknown, had called on the elite force to surrender to avoid a bloodbath after admitting he made a grave mistake in overthrowing the constitutional government of Michel Kafando.
