African diplomats meet Burkina Faso's ousted president

Envoys from West Africa and the UN say they have met the ousted president in Burkina Faso.

Roch Kaboré has been under house arrest in the capital, Ouagadougou, since he was overthrown by the army a week ago.

A member of the Ecowas-UN delegation told AFP news agency that the envoys had met the military junta, after which some went to see Mr Kaboré.

There's been concern about Mr Kaboré's wellbeing and demands for his release.
