The reason for the protests was the government’s decision to sign a new investment agreement with the Russian Federation, which outraged the opposition and part of the public.

Vice-President Badra Gunba will temporarily perform the duties of the president, and Valery Bganba, who has already headed the government in the past, will become the prime minister.
