Ivory Coast President Takes Drastic Measures: Prime Minister Removed, Government Dissolved

Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara has removed Prime Minister Patrick Achi and dissolved the government without providing a reason. The prime minister and his government will remain in temporary charge until a new prime minister and government are appointed. This is not uncommon in Ivory Coast, where presidents often make unexpected changes to their governments. The country is set to hold a presidential election in 2025, and Ouattara has not yet announced whether he will run again.
