Burkinabe President, Blaise Compaore, faced with recent mutinies of soldiers, has announced the composition of the new government Thursday, April 21 evening, according to the decrees read on state television RTB. The head of state there is assigned the Ministry of Defence. "The chairman of [Burkina] Faso, supreme commander of armed, took office as minister of defense and veterans," reads one of the decrees.
This position is particularly sensitive in the current context. The regime of President Compaore, a soldier who seized power in a coup in 1987, did indeed face for over a month, the mutinies of soldiers who have touched up his own bodyguard. These rebellions occurred in parallel with other protest movements of most of society in Burkina Faso since late February.
Fifteen new ministers in this government who come into account 29 (against 38 previously). All belong to the ruling party or the presidential movement. This new government, led by Luc Adolhpe Tiao, a journalist by training and former Ambassador of Burkina in France, the team is the narrowest in the history of Burkina Faso.
