Burkina Faso will return to civilian rule and reinstate an interim
government led by President Michel Kafando, Benin's President Thomas
Boni Yayi says.
The decision comes after Boni Yayi held talks with coup leader general Gilbert Diendere in the capital Ouagadougou.
"We may hope again," Boni Yayi said at a press conference after a third round of talks with Diendere late on Saturday.
"We are going to relaunch the transition that was under way - a
transition led by civilians, with Michel Kafando," he added, saying
that more details of the "good news" would be provided on Sunday.
