Tens of thousands of
people have protested in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, against
moves to extend the president's 27-year rule.
Security forces fired tear gas to disperse protesters who hurled stones and burnt tyres, news agencies report.
Schools, universities and shops are shut for the week of planned protests.
It is one of the biggest protests demanding that President Blaise Compaore step down when elections take place next year.
