The military junta in Burkina Faso, led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has dismissed Prime Minister Apollinaire Joachim Kyelem de Tambela and dissolved the national government on December 6, 2024, as announced in a decree. The move comes amidst growing discontent within the armed forces due to exhaustion from continuous operations against terrorist threats, lack of replacements, and insufficient supplies. The junta's decision was communicated through a statement read on national television by the Secretary General of the Government, Mathias Traoré, indicating that the head of state has terminated the functions of the Prime Minister and the government.
