DAKAR, Jan 24 (Reuters) - West African bloc ECOWAS on Monday condemned what it called an attempted coup in Burkina Faso and said it held the miliary responsible for the physical well-being of President Roch Kabore, whose whereabouts are unknown.
"ECOWAS is following with great concern the evolution of the political and security situation in Burkina Faso, characterised since Sunday 23 January by an attempted coup d'etat," the organisation said in a statement. (Reporting by Bate Felix; Writing by Estelle Shirbon Editing by Gareth Jones)
