Burkina Faso’s Minister of Commerce, Donatien Nagalo has resigned. Nagalo who stepped down on Tuesday said he decided to "give him every chance of working in a serene and peaceful climate. 

The resignation comes after objections from several traders' organizations to his appointment. The traders accused the now-former minister of "aggravated fraud" and prevented him from working on several occasions, by storming the main door of the Ministry of Commerce.
