Polls opened in Burkina Faso's presidential and parliamentary election on 29 November, with expectations high one year after a violent public uprising forced the long-time president out of office. It is the first election in the country after president Blaise Compaore was forced from office last year which sparked a year of political uncertainty. Thousands are expected to vote to elect a new president and parliament with Roch Marc Christian Kabore and Zephirin Diabre seen as strongest contenders for president. EPA/WOUTER ELSEN
