Burkina Faso's interim President Michel Kafando has been freed and is in good health, the new military leaders said Friday.

However, Prime Minister Isaac Zida, who was also detained when the presidential guard stormed a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, remains under house arrest, the BBC reported.

Two other ministers have also been released, the leaders said.

They have agreed to the "principle of dialogue", as two West African leaders arrive to mediate.
