Guinea President Alpha Conde has named Ibrahima Kassory
Fofana as the country's new prime minister amid heightened political
tensions and suspicion about the president's intentions ahead of a 2020
election.
Fofana, a Conde loyalist and former minister of
investment and public-private partnerships, replaces Mamady Youla, who
resigned last week along with his government, according to a decree read
on state television on Monday May 21,2018
About 10 people died when riots erupted in the
capital, Conakry, and other cities in February and March after local
elections that the opposition said were marred by fraud.
Note
Guinea is Africa's top producer of bauxite, which is used to make aluminium. It also has significant reserves of iron ore.
