Burkina Faso President, Roch Kabore has terminated the appointment of the country’s Prime Minister, Christophe Dabire.
The presidential office said Kabore had received a resignation letter from Dabire.
This comes amid an escalating security crisis that has killed thousands and led to street protests calling for him to go.
The country has been beset by attacks carried out by groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) since 2016, killing 2,000 people and forcing more than one million people to flee their homes.
