On October 31, 2014 the Burkina's President Blaise Compaoré, in power for twenty-seven years, resigned as a result of a broad popular uprising against a constitutional amendment that would have abolished the limit to the number of presidential mandates.

The following day the lieutenant colonel Yacouba Isaac Zida, deputy head of the regiment of presidential security and supported by the civil society was designated by the Army general staff to lead the transitional government following the suspension of the Constitution.
