In a dramatic turn of events, Burkina Faso’s military leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has dissolved the transitional government and dismissed Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambèla. The announcement, made on national television, cited the need for “urgent measures to address pressing national challenges.”

This move comes amid escalating insecurity and economic hardships in the West African nation, raising concerns about the stability of its fragile transition. Traoré, who seized power in a coup last year, vowed to restructure governance to prioritize security and development.
