Burkina Faso on Monday confirmed that the authorities in the capital, Ouagadougou, have asked France to pull its troops out of the insurgency-hit country within a month.
"We are terminating the agreement which allows French forces to be in Burkina Faso. This is not the end of diplomatic relations between Burkina Faso and France," spokesman Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo told the government controlled Radio-Television Burkina.
