Guinea's President names new Prime Minister

Guinea's President Alpha Conde has named Ibrahima Kassory Fofana as the country's new prime minister amid heightened political tensions and suspicion about the president's intentions ahead of a 2020 election.

Fofana, a Conde loyalist and former minister of investment and public-private partnerships, replaces Mamady Youla, who resigned last week along with his government. 
 
About 10 people died when riots erupted in the capital, Conakry, and other cities in February and March after the opposition complained local elections were marred by fraud. 

Conde's opponents also fear he will modify the constitution to stand for a third term in 2020.
