On Monday, political parties, trade unions, and grassroots groups met in Burkina Faso to look at plans to return the West African country to civilian rule following a military coup two months ago.

Sources say the meeting in the capital Ouagadougou discussed a "draft transition constitutional charter" drawn up by a junta-appointed commission.

The forum comes on the heels of regional demands for a swift return to civilian rule after Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba, a 41-year-old colonel, seized power in January.

The charter stipulates a 30-month transition period that presidential, legislative and local elections will follow.

It says the interim leader "will not be eligible" to stand in those elections.

To discuss the latest development in Burkina Faso, Slaiman Aledeh was joined by Dr. Oluwole Ojewale on #NCContinentalPrime. He is the ENACT Regional Organized Crime Observatory Coordinator for Central Africa at the Institute for Security Studies in Dakar, Senegal.
