The United Nations Security Council hs refrained from calling Burkina Faso’s "unconstitutional change of government" last month a coup d’etat, but did express “serious concern” in a declaration unanimously adopted by the 15-member group.
The final text called for "release and protection of President Roch Marc Christian Kabore and other government officials," , but did not press the junta to "facilitate the rapid return of constitutional order", which French news agency AFP claims was in an earlier draft.
