Burkina Faso’s new military leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has urged cabinet ministers to “move faster” to fix the country’s “urgent” problems, including an insurgency by Islamist militants.

The man he ousted in a coup on Friday has formally agreed to step down, religious and community leaders said.

They said Capt Traoré had accepted Lt Col Paul-Henri Damiba’s resignation and conditions he had set.

He has gone to Togo, according to that country’s government spokesman.
