Central African Republic Stakeholders Agree Inclusive Government - Prime Minister

Prime Minister of the Central African Republic (CAR) Firmin Ngrebada said Thursday that talks in Ethiopia between the government and militants settled differences they had over a deal on an inclusive cabinet

CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st March, 2019) Prime Minister of the Central African Republic (CAR) Firmin Ngrebada said Thursday that talks in Ethiopia between the government and militants settled differences they had over a deal on an inclusive cabinet.

"Today I can confirm that these misunderstandings have been cleared.

We return satisfied from the consultations organized by the African Union in Addis Ababa," Ngrebada was quoted as saying by the state news agency, ACAP.

The government and 14 armed groups struck a peace accord last month after almost two weeks of talks in the Sudanese city of Khartoum, followed by a deal on a new cabinet makeup published earlier in March, which drew criticism over not being inclusive enough.

The car has been suffering from a drawn-out conflict since a coup in 2013. Much of the fighting in recent years has been between Muslim-majority Seleka and Christian Anti-Balaka militias.
