Opposition wants Yala to drop new prime minister

    ABIDJAN

    Guinea-Bissau’s opposition parties continued this week to reject the appointment of Prime Minister Faustino Imbali, news organisations reported. In a letter on Tuesday to President Kumba Yala, they said Imbali’s government did not meet the conditions needed to bring about a climate of peace, stability and national reconciliation, AFP reported. The parties also called for a “serious and responsible” dialogue between the government and the opposition. Opposition parties hold a majority of the seats in parliament. They had already rejected Imbali’s nomination during discussions with Yala ahead of the prime minister’s appointment on 20 March.
