The West Africa nation of Burkina Faso was plunged into political chaos on Friday after President Blaise Compaore abruptly stepped down. Local media broadcast a resignation statement from President Compaore and an Army spokesman confirmed the president was no longer in office. The United Nations says Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is monitoring the deteriorating situation in Burkina Faso and is calling on all parties to exercise calm and restraint and to use dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues. For more perspective on the developments, VOA’s Vincent Makori is joined by Gnaka LaGoke, an analyst on Africa issues.
