The
breakthrough came on Tuesday night after marathon talks in Nigeria’s
Abuja, where west African heads of state had sought to break the impasse
fuelled by angry threats on both sides.Burkina
Faso coup leaders agreed to return to their barracks and said they
would restore the deposed president to power, signing a deal with the
army that apparently defuses a tense standoff sparked by last week’s
coup.
The
deal was signed a day after troops entered Burkina’s capital
Ouagadougou, turning up the pressure on the elite presidential guards
who staged the coup.
