OUAGADOUGOU: President Roch Marc Christian Kabore of Burkina Faso sacked two of his ministers on Wednesday over recent massacres there that have provoked protest among civilians over growing insecurity.
Kabore himself took over from Cheriff Sy as defence minister, while he appointed Maxime Kone as security minister in place of Ousseni Compaore, according to two statements from the government.
A cabinet meeting will be held on Thursday at the presidential palace to confirm all members of the government, a spokesman said.
