Condemning “any attempt to take over a government by the force of arms,” the UN chief further urged army leaders to “ensure the protection and the physical integrity” of the nation’s president, Roch Marc Christian Kabore, said the statement read by his spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
Guterres “is following developments in Burkina Faso with deep concern,” the statement said.
