BENIN: President Fires Entire Cabinet
Benin's President Boni Yayi
Benin’s President Boni Yayi sacked his entire government on Friday, according a statement issued by his office.
The move was aimed at freshening up the 26-member cabinet, which had been in place since Yayi was re-elected for a second five-year term as president in 2011, the statement added.
It was not clear when the new government will be named. Cotton-producing Benin has enjoyed two decades of political stability since multi-party democracy was restored in the early 1990s.
