President of Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaore has been ousted, says a spokesperson for the army.
He announced this to demonstrators in the nation capital, Ouagadougou.
Mr. Compaore had earlier announced that he would step down after his 12-month transitional government was over.
The opposition, however, continued to call for his resignation, apparently angry at his plans to amend the constitution to extend his 27-year rule.
On Thursday, protesters set fire to parliament and government buildings.
