Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo has been appointed as Burkina Faso's new prime minister, following the dismissal of Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela by military leader Captain Ibrahim Traore.
Ouedraogo, a former communications minister, has been a key civilian figure in the military administration and is known for his close ties to Traore.
Burkina Faso has been experiencing political turmoil since a series of coups began in January 2022, most recently with Traore's rise to power.
Under Traore's leadership, Burkina Faso has shifted its foreign policy away from France, aligning more closely with Russia as part of its broader geopolitical strategy.
