This is seen in Burkina's capital city Ouagadougou, following the protest by Anti- government protesters, protesting against President Blaise Campaore's bid to try and hold on the presidential post for another three term after 27 years of his reign. This took place yesterday the 30th of October 2014.
The house of assembly was in the process of voting in order to try and amend the National Constitution to pave a way for the President to retain another three year term in office. The Anti-government protesters just came in and spoil the broth by setting the Parliament building on fire disturbing all the proceedings. Mr Campaore came to power in 1987 and he wants to contest in the forth coming presidential elections scheduled for next year. What a tenure? He wants to stay in office after 26 years in office? Yeah!!
Police trying to restrain some protesters from advancing. The protester burnt cars and vandalize some offices.

The president's bid failed and there are no further protests reported as of today.
