Militia group unhappy with peace process

Meanwhile, the opposition Conseil National de Resistance (CNR) has threatened to pull out of the country’s peace process over what it said was lack of government compliance with provisions of the accord, news agencies reported this week. CNR third vice-president Emmanuel Boungouanza said provisions for a general amnesty, recruitment of former militiamen and the organisation of a national dialogue were not being addressed by the treaty monitoring committee, of which he was a member, the Inter-Press Service (IPS) reported on Wednesday. But government spokesman Francois Ibovi said the government was “creating the right conditions” for the national dialogue to take place, after which a government of national unity would be installed, IPS reported.
