Burkina Faso: Interim President Chosen After Military Takeover 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Burkina Faso, a former foreign minister has been tapped to lead the
country's transition to elections following a military takeover. The
army seized power last month after mass protests that ended the 30-year
rule of President Blaise Campaoré. Michel Kafando will serve as interim
president until elections within the next year.
