Parliament on fire in Burkina Faso riots
Burkina Faso parliament set ablaze
Quote:
Protesters angry at plans to allow Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year-rule have set fire to parliament.
Correspondents say the city hall and ruling party headquarters are also in flames.
A huge crowd is surging towards the presidential palace and the main airport has been shut.
MPs have suspended a vote on changing the constitution to allow Mr Compaore to stand for re-election next year.
The military had earlier fired live bullets at protesters who had stormed parliament.
State television has gone off air
after protesters stormed the building housing it and ransacked it, Reuters quotes a witness as saying.
About 1,500 people breached the security cordon at parliament, AFP reports.
Protesters were setting fire to documents and stealing computer equipment and cars outside the building were also set on fire, it reports.

Nope, it's from National Geographic. They wouldn't put out a globe with mistakes on it.

Oh you mean like Ke$ha vs Kesha? Cool! That globe still has the U. S. S. R. too!
I guess it doesn't matter, I like the name Volta better anyways, reminds me of Bjork so I'll just call it that.
