After nearly three decades of autocratic rule followed by a civil uprising, Burkina Faso has a new leader. Roch Marc Christian Kabore won more than 53% of votes in Sunday's elections, according to  an official tally . The results mean Kabore, a former Prime Minister of the West African nation, will become its next President. His closest opponent, Zephirin Diabre,  conceded defeat after winning less than 30% of votes. What comes next for Burkina Faso?   02:12 The road to this week's vote has been bumpy. Just two months ago, a military plot tried to derail the election. Now experts say this looks to be the most democratic polling in the country's history. The people have themselves to thank for that, said  Chris Fomunyoh  from the Washington-based  National Democratic Institute , which is overseeing election observers. Ever since a citizen uprising  overthrew President Blaise Compaore a year ago  -- after he

World football governing body, FIFA, has admitted its error in handing Nigeria captain Kelechi Nwakali the bronze boot of the last FIFA U-17 World Cup finals held in Chile. The Zurich-based body has instead given the award to another Golden Eaglets midfielder, Samuel Chukwueze, after apologising for the mistake. FIFA admitted the error in a letter sent to the Nigeria Football Federation General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, on Wednesday. In the letter signed by the Director of the Football Division, Mustapha Fahmy, the world body wrote, “We made a mistake at the closing ceremony of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 with the distribution of the Adidas Bronze Boot. “Instead of player no. 8 of Nigeria, Samuel Chukwueze, the player Kelechi Nwakali (player no.10 of Nigeria) received the Adidas Bronze Boot.
