    https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouvement_patriotique_pour_la_sauvegarde_et_la_restauration This didn't have much, but I found the page on the new president who was installed through the coup, and that does give us at least a little bit more insight.

    Paul-Henri Sandaogo is a graduate of the Military School of Paris, holds a master's degree in criminal sciences from the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts (CNAM) in Paris and a defense expert certification in management, command and strategy.

    Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba is at the head of the coup d'etat[1], [2], [3] perpetrated on Monday January 24, 2022 in Burkina against the regime of Roch Marc Christian Kaboré.

    Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba was from 2015 to 2019, the military responsibilities in the Sahel and Northern regions which he ended with a book entitled West African Armies and Terrorism: Uncertain Responses?

    Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba[4],[5] is a lieutenant-colonel commander of the third military region covering Ouagadougou, Manga, Koudougou and Fada N'Gourma. He is a former element of the former presidential security regiment (RSP), former presidential guard of Blaise Compaoré. The new fort of Burkina, since Monday, January 24, is from the promotion 92 of the Prytanée militaire du Kadiogo (PMK)[6] and from the 7th promotion of the George Namoano Military Academy in Pô.

    Since December 2021, he was the commander of the third military region appointed by President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré.
