Allamaye Halina reappointed Chadian prime minister

YAOUNDE, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno has reappointed Allamaye Halina as the country's prime minister.

The appointment came shortly after Halina submitted the cabinet's resignation on Tuesday evening to pave the way for a new government.

Halina, a diplomat and former director-general of state protocol, will now have to form a new government.

Halina was first appointed prime minister of the Central African nation in May last year.
