General Ibrahim Traore, military leader of Burkina Faso has reshuffled his ministers. The announcement was made on Sunday on the National Television.

Key among the changes is the naming of  Yacouba Zabre Gouba as mining and energy minister who replaces Jean-Pierre Boussim.

The shakeup comes two months after the West African nation revised its mining code to enable it to take more in royalties in boom times after a drop in gold production.
