PARIS (AP) - Pascal Yoadimnadji, the Chadian prime minister named to the post by the country's powerful president, died Friday at a Paris hospital following a brain hemorrhage. He was 56.
Yoadimnadji, who was appointed in 2005, had been evacuated to France on Wednesday after falling ill and slipping into a coma in his home country, Moukhtar Wawa Dahab, Chad's ambassador to France, told The Associated Press.
Yoadimnadji, though a senior figure in the government, was not a major player in Chadian politics. Chad's president, Idriss Deby, wields much of the power in the poor central African country, including directing Yoadimnadji's work.
