The army in Burkina Faso, which seized power after the ouster of the country's long-standing president Blaise Compaore, took over national television headquarters, AFP journalists at the scene said. Soldiers from the presidential guard fired gunshots into the air in the courtyard entrance of the RTB headquarters to disperse a crowd of demonstrators before taking control of the building, they said.
