Burkina soldiers mutiny over anti-jihadist strategy

Description

Burkina Faso's military appeared to seize power on Monday by arresting President Roch Kabore after mutinying in demand for greater resources in the fight against Islamist militants. This would mark the fourth military coup in the past year in West and Central Africa, a region once known as the continent's "coup belt". FRANCE 24's James André reports from Bamako, Mali.
