Interim Minister

He was appointed interim/acting Minister of the Defence on 8 March, and I see no evidence in reliable sources that he's been appointed permanently. Sources written after Bakayoko still refer to Téné Ouattra as the interim/acting Minister. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:40, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Now I wonder how similar their ten brothers look! Article is long enough at 1974 characters. I would link to Alassane Ouattara's article as well. Joofjoof (talk) 03:08, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Joofjoof QPQ now done: Template:Did you know nominations/Andy Crosby. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any freely licenced photos, but they look reasonably similar, although definite differences. Images on [3], [4] if you're interested. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Joseph2302. The second link shows the resemblance well (although there is an age difference between the two). Joofjoof (talk) 19:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
