The Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, Paul Kaba Thieba, has resigned from office along with his entire cabinet.
No reason was given for the move, which was announced in a televised statement by the country's president.
Mr Thieba, a former economist, had held the position since January 2016 when he was nominated by President Roch Marc Christian Kabore.
His government has faced growing pressure over a rise in the number of kidnappings and jihadist attacks.
Recent high-profile disappearances of foreign nationals have led to direct calls for Mr Thieba's resignation, as well as that of his defence and security ministers.
In his statement, President Kabore expressed his gratitude for their service. He said he hoped to form a new government soon.
A 34-year-old Canadian woman, Edith Blais, and an Italian man, Luca Tacchetto, 30, have been missing in the country since mid-December.
The pair were travelling to Togo to work with an aid group when they disappeared.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland met with the 34-year-old's family on Friday, one day after the announcement another missing Canadian found dead.
Kirk Woodman, a geologist, was abducted by gunmen on Tuesday night from a mine exploration camp in the country's north.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for his murder, but groups linked to al-Qaeda are known to operate in the area.
Burkina Faso, a poor land-locked nation in Africa's Sahel region, has seen a surge in Islamist militant activity in recent years.
There have been deadly attacks on a cafe and the French embassy in the country's capital, Ouagadougou.
Several northern provinces in its border regions have been under a state of emergency since 31 December.

I had a feeling I shouldn't buy that Burkino Faso beachfront property...
I miss Upper Volta....
And Zaire while we’re at it
That country, and several others in that part of Africa need a visit from a Neutron bomb. And don’t leave Somalia off the list to be hit.
You should visit Lower Volta some time. It is a gently shocking place.
I had enough of west Africa for a life time
What’s so odd and my oldest boy and I discuss it a lot
The population boom of formerly always starving or sick Africa
It’s like nothing ever seen in human history and nobody talks about it
Teeming in urban and suburban areas
One misstep and it will be a life losing calamity unlike we can fathom

Do they have a single carbinate, or a bi-carbinate? Is there a bi-carbinate of soda?
Even the Twitter hashtags were screwed up. ESL failure.
uh oh. We better send 50K troops to install a democratic government and prevent genocide. It will be in our interest. (sarcasm/)
Drones are more than sufficient. And there's no way to install a gov't there, they have borders, they have a capital, they even have embassies, but they don't have a gov't.
