Côte d'Ivoire has given
Burkina Faso's ousted ruler Blaise Compaoré citizenship, reports the BBC.
Côte
d'Ivoire does not extradite its nationals so it is unlikely that Mr Compaoré
will be sent back to Burkina Faso to stand trial for his alleged role in
the 1987 murder of ex-President Thomas Sankara.
He
has always denied involvement in the murder.

Mr
Compaoré fled to Côte d'Ivoire in 2014 following a popular uprising against his
bid to extend his 27-year rule.
