schema:articleBody	Burkina Faso's main opposition leader Zephirin Diabre registered his candidacy on Friday to run in November's presidential election, saying the ruling party has brought the country to "the edge of chaos". The veteran leader of the insurgency-hit nation's biggest opposition party, the Union for Progress and Change (UPC), came second with almost 30 percent of the vote in 2015's election, which was won by Roch Marc Christian Kabore. Kabore has put himself up for re-election on November 22 despite growing criticism that he has failed to tackle five years of jihadist insurgency in the West African nation. Diabre, 61, lashed out at President Kabore's People's Movement for Progress (MPP) as he registered his candidacy with the Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday. "Five years under the MPP have brought Burkina Faso to the edge of chaos," he said. "We are obliged to save it today." A minister under former president Blaise Compaore in the 1990s, Diabre went into opposition in 2011 and founded the UPC. After 27 years in power, Compaore was forced out in 2014 by popular protests. Around 20 opposition parties, including the UPC, have agreed to support whichever opposition candidate makes it to the second round. Several former members of the Compaore regime have already filed their candidacy, including ex-prime minister Kadre Desire Ouedraogo and Eddie Komboigo, the head of Compaore's party which was excluded from the 2015 vote. The crowded field also includes Tahirou Barry, who came third in 2015 and stepped down as a minister in Kabore's first government. Several other candidates, including former transition leader Yacouba Isaac Zida, are still expected to file their candidacies. The country is one of the world's poorest and since 2015 the insurgency has seen more than 1,100 lives lost and nearly a million people forced from their homes. ab/pgf/dl/mbx
