BANGUI, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (AFP) – The Central African Republic’s Economy Minister Felix Moloua became premier on Wednesday after the president fired the post’s predecessor.
Moloua is to retain his ministry position while also becoming the new head of government in the former French colony, according to a presidential decree read on public radio.
The rest of the Cabinet line-up remains the same.
The 64-year-old replaces Henri-Marie Dondra, who was sacked on Monday as tensions have escalated between pro-Russian and pro-French political elite.
