YAOUNDE, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Central African Republic will soon form a government of national unity in conformity to a consensus reached last month during an inclusive political dialogue, Radio Africa **** has reported.

Communication Minister Cyriaque Gonda was quoted on Friday as saying the new government would involve ruling and opposition parties, the civil society and the "military-political entities."
"The president of the republic and the prime minister are still consulting, but I assure you that the government of nation unity will soon take form," he declared.
The priority of those consultations is peace so that the country could shift to development from decades of unproductive conflicts, the minister added.
He said the committee following the Libreville agreement will be replaced by a disarmament committee by the end of the month.
A " comprehensive peace agreement" was signed between the government and rebel groups on June 21 in Libreville, the capital of Gabon, which has hosted three international conferences to end the long-standing conflicts in the Central African Republic.
The United Nations, the European Union, the peacekeeping mission for Central African Republic (MICOPAX) and the International Organization of Francophonie have also contributed to the peace deal, which led to the Dec. 8-20 political dialogues in the country's capital Bangui.
According to recommendations adopted during the dialogue, a government of national unity will be formed before the country holds municipal and legislative elections in 2009 and a presidential vote in 2010.
The Central African Republic won independence from France in 1960. The landlocked country with population of 4 million has been plagued by a series of coups and revolts, and ranked as one of the poorest in the world despite its rich resources of timber, gold, diamond and uranium.
