President of the Republic of Guinea Alpha Conde has named Ibrahima Kassory Fofana as the country's new prime minister.
Fofana, a Conde loyalist and former minister of investment and public-private partnerships, replaces Mamady Youla, who resigned last week along with his government.
Guinea is Africa's top producer of bauxite, which is used to make aluminium. It also has significant reserves of iron ore.
