Burkina Faso President Blaise Compaore has imposed a state of emergency after violent protests at his bid to extend his 27-year rule. The government and parliament have been dissolved, and an overnight curfew has been declared across the country. Protests to demand Mr Compaore's resignation are continuing in the capital, Ouagadougou. Angry crowds had earlier set fire to the parliament and other government buildings. This forced MPs to abandon a vote aimed at allowing Mr Compaore to seek re-election in 2015.
