BURKINA-POLITICS-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ARMEL BAILY
(FILES) -- A file picture taken on January 18, 2014 shows a man holding a placard reading "No to the Senate, No to the referendum, No to the revision of article 37" as he joins some 10.000 people, according to police, to take part in a protest on Nation Square in Ouagadougou against a modification of Burkina Faso's constitution which would allow the country's president Blaise Compaore to present himself in 2015 for a third five-year mandate. Any move by Burkina Faso's veteran President Blaise Compaore to tweak the constitution and run for office a fifth time could spark violence in the landlocked west African nation, experts say. Observers say the opposition to any attempt by the 63-year-old to cling to power is driven by the youth in a country where 60 percent of the 17 million-strong population is under 25.
