 Burkina Faso's embattled President Blaise Compaore who as clinched onto power since 1987, for 27 years, and had rejected calls to step down following angry demonstrations over plans to amend the constitution to allow him to extend his rule has resigned, prompting an outburst of cheers from protesters demanding his resignation.
