Burkina Faso President Blaise Campaore has stepped down from power..

Following yesterday's uprising against his bid to retain power by amending the constitution in order to earn himself another term in office and become eligible to contest in next year Burkina Faso presidential elections, the Burkina Faso President has stepped down from power. Blaise Campaore's regime came to power in 1988 and reigned for 26 years up until today when it crumbled. His bid to hold on to power and extend his reigning term by three more terms was thwarted by the protesters who could not tolerate any of his regime anymore. Mr Campaore announce his resignation from office today,October 31st 2014 and flee to an unknown hideout.
He declared that the Presidential office was vacant and the nation of Burkina Faso is free to hold presidential election within 90 days. He earlier on had said that he will keep his office until 2015, but the protestors and the Army could not buy into his wishes. Right now General Honore Traore is the interim President until the holding of new elections after 90 days.

Four people are said to have died from yesterday's uprising and several were injured. May the spirit of peace reign in Burkina Faso.
