Burkina Faso’s ruling military leader Ibrahim Traoré has dismissed the country’s prime minister and dissolved the government.
The military government in a decree, announced that the prime minister’s official functions are terminated, stating that members of the dissolved government would continue handling ongoing matters until a new government is formed.
The ousted prime minister, Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela, had served as head of three successive governments, surviving multiple reshuffles.
However, no official reason has been given for his removal.
Recall that Kyelem de Tambela was appointed prime minister in October 2022 following the coup that brought Ibrahim Traoré to power.
