Burkina Faso President Roch Kabore has won re-election by a comfortable margin, preliminary results showed on Thursday (November 26), after an election marred by insecurity that prevented swathes of the West African country from voting. Some analysts had expected a closer contest on Sunday (November 22) because of the president's failure to contain a jihadist insurgency that has killed more than 2,000 people this year alone and forced a million people to flee.
