Burkina Faso coup leaders say they have freed interim President, Michel Kafando, and that he is in good health.
The country's Prime Minister, Isaac Zida, however is still being detained. He was placed under house arrest when presidential guards burst into a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
The African Union has taken a tough stand by suspending Burkina Faso and threatening sanctions if the junta does not release all interim political figures.
Many countries have condemned the coup d'état, including the US and France.
The junta have indicated their preparedness to dialogue. Benin's President Yayi Boni and another West African leader, are already in Burkina Faso, for mediation.
