Traore replaced Lt. Col. Paul-Henri Damiba at the helm of MPSR following a coup on Friday, the second since the West African nation's president, Roch Kabore, was overthrown in January. Damiba said he had agreed to go after several conditions were met. He is reportedly in Togo.
"The military command of the national armed forces, presented here by senior chiefs of staff and senior military chiefs of the armed forces.
