'Elections 'not a priority' compared to security', says Junta leader

On Friday, hundreds of people demonstrated in the capital city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in favor of the ruling junta, which had taken over in a coup a year earlier. At the Place de la Nation, supporters congregated and waved Burkinabe flags. A few people carried placards featuring images of Captain Ibrahim Traore, the nation's youthful military commander.
