The military junta that recently seized power in Burkina Faso gave the deposed government's ministers 72 hours on Tuesday to vacate their official residence.

The Patriotic Movement for Liberation and Restoration (MPSR) also ordered the ministers, who served in the former administration of President Roch Kabore, to hand over official vehicles and any other equipment related to their office, the junta said in a statement aired on national television.

Veronic Njie reports that there has so far been no reaction to the directive.
