Central African Republic President Francois Bozize on Sunday unveiled a new national unity government, handing the key defence portfolio to former rebels who nevertheless said they were short-changed. "We feel a sense of relief that we have set up a new government," Bozize said over national radio after sometimes fraught negotiations with the former rebels as well as opposition figures. The unity government is the fruit of a January 11 peace deal that ended a nearly month-long insurgency in the impoverished landlocked state.
