Burkina Faso children return to school despite second coup this year

OUAGADOUGOU: Children in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou returned to school on Monday for the start of the new academic year, as residents sought some semblance of normality days after the country's second military coup this year.

Neighbouring Togo's government on Monday confirmed reports that Damiba was in the country, saying he was being hosted"in the spirit of peace". "With a little worry given the situation, our wish as parents is that things go normally," said Seydou Niampa, the father of two students at Pissy."Since the authorities are reassuring us, we wish them good luck too with this first day."
