Thousands of people rallied in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, in support of the military junta led by Capt. Ibrahim Traore, after an alleged coup attempt and criticism from a US official. The junta has struggled to address the country's security challenges, with over 60% of the country outside of government control and 6.5 million people in need of humanitarian aid. The military leadership has been accused of human rights abuses, including unlawful killings of civilians, and has installed a system of de facto censorship, making it difficult to get an accurate picture of the situation.
