 Guinea gets new PM amid political tensions
CONAKRY 22 May (ANA) - Guinea's President Alpha Condé has appointed Ibrahima Kassory Fofana as the country's new prime minister amid heightened political tensions.
Mr Fofana, an economist, replaces Mamady Youla, who resigned last week along with his government.
Analysts say he will need to relaunch the economy and diffuse tension following local elections which the opposition says were marred by fraud and rioting.
Mr Fofana, an ally of the president, will also face scrutiny from critics who think Mr Condé intends to change the constitution to remain in power.(ANA)
