Soldiers opposed to the rebellion, which was led by ex-spy chief General Gilbert Diendere and the presidential guard, left military bases across the West African nation and converged on the capital on Monday.<\/p>\n

They entered parts of the city overnight, and loyalists said the elite presidential guard, which numbers around 1,200 soldiers, had begun negotiations on the conditions of its surrender.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”h8VnIPxH0LSnqCc1C8XHA1zmIe1jFY0z”]”They have until 10 a.m. to lay down their weapons and surrender at the Camp Sangoule Lamizana,” the loyalist officer said, referring to a military barracks west of the capital, Ouagadougou.<\/p>\n

The coup derailed a delicate peace process in Burkina Faso, which had been preparing to head to polls on Oct. 11 for a vote aimed at restoring democracy after last year’s overthrow of long time leader Blaise Compaore.<\/p>\n

Heads of state from West Africa’s regional bloc, ECOWAS, were due to meet in Nigeria’s capital Abuja on Tuesday to discuss the crisis.
