Burkina Faso's ex-president becomes citizen of Ivory Coast

vory Coast said on Wednesday it has granted citizenship to Burkina Faso's former president Blaise Compaore, potentially dashing hopes he could be extradited to his neighboring native country for his role in a high-profile murder case.

Burkina Faso issued an arrest warrant against Compaore in December for the murder of former president and military leader Thomas Sankara, who was assassinated 30 years ago in a case that has famously gone unsolved.

The body of Sankara, sometimes called "Africa's Che Guevera", was exhumed in 2015 and an autopsy found it to be riddled with bullets.

The naturalization decree, published in the Ivory Coast's official journal for January, accorded Compaore and his son Paul Francois Ivoirian citizenship.
