| Summary/Abstract |
Burkina Faso ousted a leader who overstayed his welcome. Should other West African leaders watch their backs?
The government of Burkina Faso’s deposed president, Blaise Compaoré, was a cornerstone of French and US security policy in the northwest of Africa. For 27 years, he was the immovable guarantor of internal and external stability. Or so it seemed. But then, within 48 hours at the end of October 2014, he was gone.
