OUAGADOUGOU — The Economic Community of West African States on Friday condemned the seizure of power by a group of soldiers in Burkina Faso.

The regional bloc said the coup came at an inopportune time when Burkina Faso had made progress towards returning to constitutional rule following a January military takeover from a civilian government. (Reporting by Thiam Ndiaga and Anne Mimault Writing by Bate Felix Editing by Leslie Adler)
