Tensions mount in Burkina Faso a week after the coup attempt

Tensions are running high in Burkina Faso just a week after a failed coup attempt, as residents continue to face uncertainty about the country’s political future. Across the capital and beyond, anxiety is palpable, with many worried about what comes next after the government revealed it had thwarted a coordinated effort by a small group trying to seize power. Security forces remain on alert, and checkpoints have sprung up in key areas as authorities push to reassure citizens and deter any further unrest. The failed coup, which authorities say was promptly addressed, has left political leaders and the public questioning the stability of the current administration.
