Mahamat Kamoun (born 13 November 1961)[1][2] is a Central African politician who was the Prime Minister of the Central African Republic, in an interim capacity, from 10 August 2014 to 2 April 2016. He was the country's first Muslim Prime Minister.[3]
A specialist in finance, Kamoun served as the Director-General of the Treasury under President Francois Bozize.[4] He subsequently served as the head of the cabinet of President Michel Djotodia[3][5] and was an advisor to interim President Catherine Samba-Panza[6] before his appointment as Prime Minister.
Prime Minister
Kamoun's appointment as Prime Minister sparked discontent and astonishment among the Muslim Séléka rebel group,[3] as the group does not consider Kamoun as a member of Séléka, despite Kamoun being a Muslim.[7] The group subsequently boycotted the National Unity Government as they were not consulted about the choice of Prime Minister,[8] and even threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire agreement signed in Brazzaville in July 2014 as a result of Kamoun's appointment.[7][8]
