The Morning Call
Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara’s government faces collapse after his junior coalition partner said it had expelled party members named to a new cabinet.
Ouattara who had reshuffled his cabinet last week because of a row between his RDR party and the PDCI party of former President Henri Konan Bedie, played down friction between the two parties in a public address last week. But the PDCI party leader Bedie, is believed to have warned party members in a letter not to take part in the new government.
Ouattara dissolved the government earlier in July amid tensions with the PDCI party.
