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 the 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.
