Ivory Coast Prime Minister Hamed Bakayoko died at 56 due to cancer in Germany. Bakayoko's demise was the second time in a year that an Ivorian PM died in office due to illness. He had recently been shifted to Germany from Paris for treatment. He was selected as the West African country's premier after the death of then-Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly last July. President Alassane Ouattara condoled Bakayoko's death.
