VIDEO: Burkina Faso's army steps up pressure after coup

Former Foreign Affairs Minister Djibril Bassole denies the allegations that he supported the military general behind this month's failed coup.

The government accuses Bassole of joining forces with General Gilbert Diendere and alleges the two have sought help from foreign forces.

While coup leader Diendere quickly handed power back to the civilian transitional government, efforts to disarm his supporters have stalled.
