Guinea junta head Camara to recover in Burkina Faso

Captain Moussa Dadis Camara has not been seen in public since the shooting

Guinea's junta leader has been taken to Burkina Faso after six weeks in Morocco being treated for a bullet wound.

Eyewitnesses said Capt Moussa Dadis Camara, who was shot by an aide last month, had to be helped off the plane.

The authorities in Burkina Faso say he will continue recuperating there, but no-one has explained why he is not returning to Guinea.

Burkina Faso's leader is mediating in the crisis in Guinea, which has been in turmoil since a December 2008 coup.

Capt Camara was receiving medical treatment in the Moroccan city of Rabat after being shot in the head by an aide on 3 December.
