Traore said a group of officers who helped Damiba seize power in January had decided to remove their leader due to his inability to deal with the Islamists. Damiba ousted former President Roch Kabore for the same reason.

Is this the sole reason?

Private Military Contractor (PMC) from Russia. They're establishing themselves more and more in unstable countries in Africa.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if France is involved. They've been covertly financing instability in the region as well as in central Africa.

Doubt it.
Africa just wrecks itself. It needs no help from anyone to do this.
