Burkina Faso junta chief dissolves government

News Update

THE military junta in Burkina Faso dismissed Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela on Friday and dissolved the government.

“The prime minister’s official functions are terminated,” read a decree issued by the junta’s leader, interim President Ibrahim Traore.

He said government ministers will remain in office until a new government is formed.

No reasons were given for the dismissal. Tambela was named as premier in October 2022 after the coup that brought Traore to power. The prime minister had served at the head of three successive governments, surviving each reshuffle.
