They were rescued by the army several days later at a location 200 kilometres away, according to the state-run media.Frustration within the army at the mounting toll of security forces triggered two coups last year.

Thousands of demonstrators rallied in the capital on Saturday to celebrate the pullout, and some called for Burkina Faso to follow Mali in weaving a close alliance with Moscow.
