Burkina Faso’s military junta has appointed Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo as the new Prime Minister, following the dissolution of the previous government.
Ouedraogo, a former communications minister, is a close ally of junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traore.
The recent political upheaval in Burkina Faso reflects the ongoing instability and security challenges faced by the country.
Despite multiple military coups, the government has struggled to contain the spread of jihadist violence and restore peace and security.
The appointment of a new prime minister is seen as an attempt by the junta to consolidate its power and implement its agenda.
However, it remains to be seen whether the new government will be able to address the country’s pressing issues, including security, economic hardship, and social unrest.
