Burkina Faso Names New Prime Minister After Government Dissolved

Date:

Burkina Faso’s military government appointed Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo as prime minister Saturday, one day after dissolving the previous government and dismissing Premier Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela without explanation.

Ouedraogo, who served as communication minister and government spokesman in the dissolved cabinet, takes leadership following the unexpected reorganization by junta leader Ibrahim Traore, who seized power in September 2022.

The military government provided no reason for removing Tambela, who had served as interim prime minister since Traore’s coup. The shake-up represents the latest political shift in the West African nation under military rule.
