Huge Burkina Faso march against President Compaore

Raised spatulas are a symbol defiance

Tens of thousands of people have protested in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, against moves to extend the president's 27-year rule.

Security forces fired tear gas to disperse protesters who hurled stones and burnt tyres, news agencies report.

Schools, universities and shops are shut for the week of planned protests.
It is one of the biggest protests demanding that President Blaise Compaore step down when elections take place next year.

'Get out'

On Thursday, Burkina Faso's parliament will consider a constitutional amendment that will allow him to run for another five years.

Protesters compared the president to the deadly virus that has hit other West African states

The security forces have played a key role in helping Mr Compoare to stay in power


Mr Compaore took power in a coup in 1987, and has won four elections since then.

The opposition has called for a campaign of civil disobedience to force him to quit next year.

Protesters marched through the capital with banners reading "Blaise Get Out!", "Blaise = Ebola" and "We must disinfect ourselves", in reference to the highly contagious virus that has killed thousands of people in other West African states.
President Compaore: "My concern today is not to build a future for myself - but to see how the future of this country will take shape"

Organisers said up to a million people took part in the march, but Reuters news agency reported that they numbered in the tens of thousands.

The security forces charged demonstrators after they apparently ventured too close to the parliamentary building, AFP news agency reports.

Demonstrators breached the security around parliament and set it on fire

Protesters angry at plans to allow Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year-rule have set fire to parliament.

The BBC's Laeila Adjovi in the capital, Ouagadougou, say the city hall and ruling party headquarters are also in flames.

Earlier, the military reportedly fired at protesters who stormed parliament.

Tear gas was also fired from a helicopter, as a crowd surged towards the presidency, reports say.

Parliament was due to consider changing the constitution so that Mr Compaore, 63, could run for office again in elections next year.

A government minister could not confirm reports that the constitutional amendment has been withdrawn, Reuters news agency reports.


Mr Compaore first took power in a coup in 1987, and has won four disputed elections since then.

The opposition has called for a campaign of civil disobedience to demand that he steps down.

"October 30 is Burkina Faso's Black Spring, like the Arab Spring," opposition activist Emile Pargui Pare told AFP news agency.

State television has gone off air after protesters stormed the building housing it and ransacked it, Reuters quotes a witness as saying.

Car were also set ablaze near parliament

The protesters do not want Mr Compaore to change the constitution to extend his rule

Smoke could be seen billowing from parliament.

Police had earlier fired tear gas to prevent protesters from moving in on the parliamentary building.

But about 1,500 people managed to breach the security cordon and were ransacking parliament, AFP reports.

Protesters were setting fire to documents and stealing computer equipment; cars outside the building are also on fire, it reports.

Mr Compaore is a staunch ally of the US and France, which uses Burkina Faso as a base for military operations against militant Islamists in the Sahel region.

Both France and the European Union (EU) have called on him to scrap the proposed constitutional amendment.

The EU said it could jeopardise Burkina Faso's stability. The US has also raised concern about the proposed amendment.

Hapa wa kulaumiwa ni rais Blaise Compaore. Amenogewa na madaraka na kufikia kujiaminisha kuwa wananchi si chochote na hata juzi walivyomuonya asibadilishe katiba kujiongezea muda akatuma mapolisi na wanajeshi kuwapiga mabomu ya machozi waandamanaji.
Ilipofikia sasa ni dalili kuwa uvumilivu wa watu aliowadharau umefika mwisho na uenda nchi ikawa ngumu kutawalika.
Historia ya hii nchi iko wazi kuwa rais aliingia madarakani kwa nguvu na ni wazi sasa anaweza kuondolewa kwa nguvu. Kilichomdanganya ni utulivu ambao yeye aliamini ni amani au ujinga wa watu kama viongozi wa tanzania wanavyojiaminisha.

Hii ndio lugha pekee ambayo magambas wanaweza kuilewa. Na haiko mbali. Wao wakao wamekariri wimbo wa 'nchi ya amani na utulivu' kana kwamba hivyo vilidondoka kutoka mbinguni kama mvua! Hawajui kuwa vilitengenezwa na uadilifu wa Hayati JKN. Sasa wanapoanza kuiba machomacho mchana kweupe bila hata kunawa mikono, kuchakachua kila kitu dunia nzima imewaangalia bila tone la soni vikiambatana na kiburi kana kwamba nchi ni yao peke yao, wasidhani binadamu hawa wanaoishi katika eneo linaloitwa Tanzania ni tofauti sana na binadamu wanaoishi katika eneo linaloitwa Burkina.
