He was the country’s Prime Minister from March 2001 to December 2001 and Foreign Affairs minister between 2012 and 2013.
President Vaz dismissed the cabinet led by Aristides Gomes on Monday by a decree citing “a serious political crisis that calls into question the normal functioning of the republic’s institutions.”
