Burkina Faso’s military junta has taken another step to consolidate its power by dismissing Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela and dissolving the government.
This latest move comes as the country continues to grapple with a severe security crisis and political instability.
The junta provided no explanation for its decision, sparking speculation in a country already reeling from political upheaval.
The military junta, which seized power in a coup in September 2022, has struggled to stem the tide of insurgent violence that has ravaged the country.
Despite promises to restore security and stability, the situation has deteriorated, leading to widespread displacement and suffering.
The dismissal of the prime minister and the dissolution of the government raise concerns about the future of Burkina Faso’s political trajectory.
The junta’s extended transition period and its growing authoritarian tendencies have drawn criticism from regional and international actors.
