Description
Russia's ambassador to Ivory Coast, Alexei Saltykov, takes part in a ceremony to reopen Moscow's embassy in Burkina Faso, which was closed in 1992. Saltykov has said he will head the mission in Burkina Faso until a new ambassador is named. The West African country experienced two military coups last year, both triggered in part by discontent at failures to stem raging jihadist insurgency. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
