The period of “inclusive political dialogue” in the Central African Republic has ended. The process seems to have gone well. President Bozizé has committed himself to appointing a wide-ranging government, including representatives from the opposition and rebel factions that attended the dialogue meetings.

The plenary meeting of the group adopted a report on the theme of politics and governance. The need for the formation of an inclusive government was one of the recommendations of the report. The report does not seem to threaten the semi-presidential status of the country.

Other recommendations include the creation of a truth and reconciliation commission. The various parties are invited to nominate their representatives over the next few days.
