President of Burkina Faso, Roch Marc Christian Kaboré has in a decree, dissolved the Government of Prime Minister Christophe Joseph Marie Dabiré.
“The functions of the Prime Minister are terminated, the Government is dissolved,” a Presidential decree said.
The development comes amid growing anger from the population over the President’s failure to deliver on his promise of bringing “security and stability” to the country in his second and last term.
The West African country of 20.5 million people has been plagued since 2015 by recurrent jihadist attacks that have left a million people internally displaced.
There is no indication yet of when a future Head of Government will be appointed.
