DAKAR, Muharram 06, 1436, October 30, 2014, SPA -- Burkina Faso's government has abandoned plans for legislation to extend President Blaise Compaore's 27-year rule on Thursday amid protests by thousands of people who stormed the parliament building and state television, Reuters reported. Alain Edouard Traore, communications minister, confirmed the government had dropped a project to amend the constitution to remove a two-term presidential term limit that would have allowed Compaore to seek reelection next year. --SPA 14:32 LOCAL TIME 11:32 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
