Burkina Faso’s military government has appointed Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo as prime minister of the transition after it fired Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela, and dissolved the government on Friday, a statement said on Saturday.
Ouedraogo was communication minister and spokesman of the previous government.
No reason was given for the dismissal of Tambela, who was appointed interim premier soon after junta leader Ibrahim Traore seized power in September 2022.
