| Nigeria’s Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo (L) is welcomed by Bukina Faso’s coup leader General Gilbert Diendere (R), on September 23, 2015 at Ouagadougou International airport. |
General Gilbert Diendere, who last week staged a coup in Burkina Faso, on Wednesday confirmed the crisis had ended, describing the coup he led as “the biggest mistake”. Diendere, after the interim president he deposed resumed office, said “ the coup is over.”
“Carrying out this coup was the biggest mistake," Diendere said. “We knew the people were not in favour of it. That is why we have given up.” Diendere is head of the powerful Presidential Security Regiment (RSP), the unit behind the coup, and a former chief-of-staff to longtime leader Blaise Compaore, who was deposed by a popular uprising in October 2014.
