Guinea's military junta leader, Moussa Dadis Camara, has left Morocco to move on to Burkina Faso.

Mr Camara spent the last few weeks in a hospital in the Moroccan city of Rabat, after being shot in the head and the neck in an attack in Guinea.

Sources in Burkina Faso say that he is currently in the capital, Ouagadougou, undergoing the last of his medical treatment. It is unclear whether he will subsequently then return to Guinea.

Mr Camara has been Guinea's military ruler since a coup d'état in December 2008. In the last few weeks, the international community has put pressure on the junta leader to stay out of Guinea, preferably in exile.

A United Nations report held him responsible for the massacre of over 150 unarmed protesters in Guinea's capital Conakry in September 2009. The general international tenor is that should Mr Camara return to Guinea, the country's transition to democracy may be seriously hampered.
