Is Compaore's reign in Burkina Faso coming to an end?

Let's hope so. This is the man who betrayed Thomas Sankara (reportedly they were best friends) and succeeded him after the assassination. He then went about undoing the Burkinabe revolution which Sankara had led. Compaore is as foul as they come. How fitting it would be if inernational capital betrays him, as it now appears.
