France has suspended two of its soldiers over allegations they sexually abused children in Burkina Faso.

One of the alleged victims was a five-year-old girl whose father found a camera containing images of his daughter being sexually abused, AFP news agency reports.

The BBC says the decision comes after another abuse scandal involving French soldiers.

A leaked United Nations report claimed 16 French soldiers abused children in the Central African Republic.
