Burkina Faso’s army has reached the capital, Ouagadougou, to seek the surrender of the elite presidential guard who staged a coup last Thursday.
The presidential guard had until 10:00 GMT to surrender or face an assault, a senior officer said.
Negotiations between army chiefs and the presidential guard are under way, security sources said.
Both the president and the prime minister have been released, as mediators try to broker a deal.
