The political dialogue of the Central African Republic had reached a compromise on the government of national unity, the state radio reported yesterday.
According to reports reaching, representatives of the government, opposition, civil society and rebel groups are participating in the dialogue in an atmosphere of appeasement, with all bearing in mind "why we are meeting in Bangui," Communication Minister Cyriaque Gonda was quoted as saying.
The dialogue began on Dec. 8 in the capital of the Central African Republic and is expected to conclude on Dec. 20.
The debate was hotting up, "but we have reached dynamic compromises" with parties concerned agreeing to leave the role with the president of the republic to play in defining the shape of a future government, said Job Izima, chief coordinator of the presidential majority.
"It will be a government of the republic for all with missions to be conferred by the head of state," he added.
The rebel groups are reportedly keen on a consensus on the nomination of a prime minister to head the government in question.
