Burkina Faso names Colonel Isaac Zida as Prime Minister

The Burkina Faso’s interim
government has finally appointed a soldier as the countries new prime minister. He's Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida a soldier best described as a large bestacled man with a trademark red beret. 
This was done yesterday, exactly four days after he was forced by the African Union (AU) to restore the country’s constitution. Colonel Zida will work with Michel Kafando- the interim president to appoint a 25 member government to see to elections in 2015.

You could recall that on Nov. 1, after a mass protest toppled the government of president Blaise Compaore, Colonel Zida declared himself head of state.

Former president Compaore has since fled the country. Meanwhile The African Union ( AU) had given Zida two weeks to
restore civilian rule or face economic sanctions.

 Hope he will not toe the lines of other African military leaders who hates vacating their seats?

     Burkina Faso citizens protests to false the Incumbent president Mr. Compaore to step down. Reports say a huge crowd in their different army and groups are actually heading to the presidential palace.

Five people have been killed in the protests, as the military are said to be firing live bullets towards the protesters.

Mr Compaore first took power through a coup in 1987, and has never stepped down. He has won four disputed elections since then.

It seems this is familiar with African leaders...Power Hungry!
