The United Nations Security Council expressed "serious concern about the unconstitutional change of government" in Burkina Faso in a statement more than two weeks after a military coup deposed President Roch Kabore.
The 15-member council met behind closed doors on Tuesday to discuss the Jan. 24 coup. In a statement, agreed by consensus late on Wednesday, the Security Council called for the release and protection of Kabore and other government officials.
