Military junta in Burkina Faso has appointed Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo as prime minister of the transition.
This is after it fired Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela, and dissolved the government on Friday.
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.
