三个西非国家领导人专程前往布基纳法索,敦促该国军方领导层履行承诺将权力移交给由文官组成的过渡政府。

加纳总统马哈马、尼日利亚总统乔纳森和塞内加尔总统萨勒星期三抵达布基纳法索首都瓦加杜古。他们将与军方任命的过渡领导人齐达及反对派代表举行会谈。

布基纳法索军方上周五在总统孔波雷辞职并逃往邻国科特迪瓦后控制了政权。

科特迪瓦总统瓦塔拉星期二说,孔波雷精神状态良好,并且说,他想在科特迪瓦住多久都可以。

布基纳法索军方任命中校齐达担任过渡领导人。齐达已多次表示他将很快移交政权。

星期一非盟呼吁布基纳法索在两个星期内组建一个文官过渡政府接管政权,否则将面临可能的制裁。

Three West African leaders are in Burkina Faso to push army leaders to honor their pledge to hand over power to a civilian transitional government.

Ghana's President John Mahama, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Senegalese President Macky Sall arrived in the capital, Ouagadougou, on Wednesday.

The presidents are expected to meet with Burkina Faso's interim leader, Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida, as well as leaders of the opposition.

The military took control Friday after president Blaise Compaore resigned and fled to neighboring Ivory Coast.

Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara said Tuesday that Mr. Compaore is in "good spirits" and can stay as long as he wants.

The military appointed Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida as an interim leader, and he has said several times he would quickly transfer power.

On Monday, the African Union warned that Burkina Faso faces possible sanctions unless a civilian government takes power within two weeks.
An attempt to extend his rule ended in failure last week when protesters burned parliament, hours before lawmakers were due to vote on a measure eliminating term limits.
