Honoré Traoré
General Honoré Nabéré Traoré (born 28 September 1957) is one of the two Burkinabé soldiers that claimed to be the head of state since the resignation of Blaise Compaoré in the aftermath of the 2014 Burkinabé uprising, the other one being Isaac Zida. However, on 1 November 2014, the Military of Burkina Faso declared Zida to be the head of state of Burkina Faso in a statement signed by army chiefs including Traoré himself. A subsequent election took place on 29 November 2015. Traoré had previously served as Compaoré's aide de camp.
