Anti-French protesters waving Russian flags and shouting slogans against the West African ECOWAS block rallied in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou on Tuesday as ECOWAS delegates arrived on a fact-finding mission following the country's second military coup this year.
Brandishing Russian flags in a display of support for Moscow, the demonstrators shouted slogans criticising the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) regional bloc and France, the former colonial power in Burkina Faso.
