Yesterday, Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, experienced a state of confusion after gunfire was reported near the presidential palace. Initially, supporters of the ruling military junta, led by Ibrahim Traoré, speculated about a possible coup attempt. However, this scenario was soon discounted according to reports from international radio. The gunfire originated from a vehicle containing flammable materials, leading to a fire that damaged several others in the vicinity before firefighters managed to control it.
