Paul-Henri Damiba is now the president and army chief
The military junta that took power in Burkina Faso has dismissed the army and intelligence chiefs.
The former army chief, Brig Gen Gilbert Ouedraogo, has been replaced by the head of the junta Lt Col Paul-Henri Damiba - who will also serve as the country's president.
The junta - which is officially known as the Patriotic Movement for Preservation and Restoration (MPSR) - also sacked intelligence chief Sr Col Francois Ouedraogo.
He was replaced by Sr Col Cyprien Kabore, a member of the junta.
The junta also restored the country's constitution, which was suspended after it ousted the president during the 23 January coup.
