Burkina Faso's military government has announced the appointment of Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo as the new prime minister of the transition. This decision follows the dismissal of Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela and the dissolution of the previous government on December 7, 2024.
Ouedraogo, who previously served as the communication minister and spokesman for the former administration, steps into his new role amid ongoing political changes in the country. The reasons behind Tambela's removal have not been disclosed.
Tambela had been appointed as interim premier shortly after junta leader Ibrahim Traore took power in September 2022.
