Mutinous soldiers ousted the West African nation’s democratically elected president hours after surrounding his home. It is the latest in a string of coups across the African continent.
President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, 64, had been leading Burkina Faso, a poor, landlocked country in Western Africa, since 2015. But he faced growing criticism from civilians and the military alike over his government’s inability to beat back the Islamist insurgents creating havoc in this nation of 21 million people.
Public support for the mutiny was driven by a perception that Mr. Kaboré was incapable of beating back the Islamist groups that have been spreading mayhem for so long, said Rinaldo Depagne, an expert on Burkina Faso at the International Crisis Group.
I'm willing to bet that ever since Kaboré was elected these "Islamic groups" must have suddenly acquired a most curious taste for croissants.
This shit fucking sucks, goddamn. Also:

I'm willing to bet that those “Islamic groups” and the International Crisis Group are on the same payroll.
