New cabinet announced

    NAIROBI

    The new military government in Niger has announced a 20-member cabinet only two of whom are army officers, the official state radio, 'Voix du Sahel', reported at the weekend.

    Analysts said the duties of the new government, however, would remain in the hands of Major Daouda Mallam Wanke, who assumed power last week after the presidential guard unit which he commanded assassinated President Ibrahim Bare Mainassara.

    IRIN West Africa has published a full list of the cabinet, in which a woman, Aichatou Mindaoudou, was named foreign minister. It is also available at the website
