]]> Opposition groups have refused to accept the military seizing control in Burkina Faso and say they’re taking to the streets today in protest.

The African Union and the United States have condemned the military taken over and called for an immediate restoration of civilian rule.

Violent protests last week unseated Blaise Campaore after 27 years as president and sent him seeking shelter in neighbouring Ghana.

Oppositions groups are adamant they will determine the country’s future in cooperation with the army.

They’ve rejected the announcement by Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida that he is now in charge.

He’s adamant there has not been a coup and says he’ll lead the country to elections within 90 days.

The opposition groups insist the transition must be democratic and civilian in nature.
