OUAGADOUGOU, Muharram 26, 1436, Nov 19, 2014, SPA -- Burkina Faso's newly appointed prime minister Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida said on Wednesday that a government for the country's transitional period would be announced "within 72 hours". The deputy head of the presidential guard was briefly head of state after mass protests toppled long-serving President Blaise Compaore who fled the West African country on October 31. Zida agreed to step down amid pressure for a return to civilian rule and earlier this week former foreign minister Michel Kafando was appointed interim president. -- SPA 22:22 LOCAL TIME 19:22 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
