Burkina Faso Junta Dismisses Prime Minister, Dissolves Cabinet

Date:

Burkina Faso’s military junta abruptly dismissed interim Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela and dissolved the government Friday, according to a decree from military leader Ibrahim Traore’s office.

The announcement provided no explanation for removing Tambela, who had served as interim premier since Traore seized power in September 2022. The move represents the latest political upheaval in the West African nation, which has experienced multiple military takeovers amid broader instability across the Sahel region.

Tambela’s appointment had followed Traore’s coup, one of several military power grabs that have reshaped West African politics in recent years. The dismissal raises new questions about the direction of Burkina Faso’s military government as it grapples with regional security challenges.
