New leader Traoré said a group of officers had decided to remove Damiba because of his inability to face violence from radical Islamist groups.

Fighting broke out in the capital Ouagadougou today. Gunshots were heard in residential areas and there was an explosion near the presidential palace. Shots were also fired around the military junta headquarters.

Burkina Faso’s government said the fighting is the result of an “internal crisis” within the military. Negotiations are said to be underway to reach a settlement, a government spokesperson said.

This coup is the second this year in Burkina Faso. Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba had taken power in the country himself in January . His predecessor Roch Kaboré was also accused of doing too little against radical Islamic militias, which often have ties to IS or al-Qaeda
