Beavogui, who has no previous government experience, is an expert in agricultural finance and has worked for the UN.
Guinea’s military government has named Mohamed Beavogui, a former civil servant and expert in agricultural finance, as prime minister to preside over a promised transition back to democratic rule following last month’s coup.
Beavogui, whose nomination was announced on Wednesday on national television, had a prestigious career with international organisations, including the United Nations, but has no national government experience – potentially distancing him from the Guinean political infighting of recent years.
The 68-year-old engineering graduate and son of a diplomat is an expert in agricultural development financing and risk management.
