Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore on Friday terminated the duties of Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachimson Kyelem de Tambela and dissolved the government.
According to a presidential decree read out on public television, “the duties of the prime minister are terminated” and “the government is dissolved.”
The decree said members of the dissolved government will handle current affairs until a new government is formed.
