西非領導人抵達布基納法索,敦促軍方交權
Three West African leaders are in Burkina Faso to push army leaders to honor their pledge to hand over power to a civilian transitional government.
Ghana's President John Mahama, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Senegalese President Macky Sall arrived in the capital, Ouagadougou, on Wednesday.
The presidents are expected to meet with Burkina Faso's interim leader, Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida, as well as leaders of the opposition.
The military took control Friday after president Blaise Compaore resigned and fled to neighboring Ivory Coast.
Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara said Tuesday that Mr. Compaore is in "good spirits" and can stay as long as he wants.
The military appointed Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida as an interim leader, and he has said several times he would quickly transfer power.
On Monday, the African Union warned that Burkina Faso faces possible sanctions unless a civilian government takes power within two weeks.
An attempt to extend his rule ended in failure last week when protesters burned parliament, hours before lawmakers were due to vote on a measure eliminating term limits.三個西非國家領導人專程前往布基納法索，敦促該國軍方領導層履行承諾將權力移交給由文官組成的過渡政府。
