Burkina Faso: 3 Dead in Protests over Apparent Military Coup 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Burkina Faso, at least three people have been killed during protests
as the military authorities sealed the borders, canceled flights and
imposed a night curfew following an apparent military coup. On
Wednesday, the presidential guard, which is loyal to Burkina Faso's
former longtime President Blaise Compaoré, detained interim President
Michel Kafando and dissolved the transitional government.
