    NAIROBI

    New cabinet members include the MLPC’s Jean-Jacques Demafouth as minister of defence and CAR armed forces member Denis Wangao-Kizimale as minister of justice. Other political parties represented include the Parti liberal democrate (PLD), Mouvement pour la democratie et le developpement (MDD), Rassemblement democratique centrafricain (RDC), Parti social democratique (PSD), and Parti de l’unite nationale (PUN), according to the MINURCA statement. The opposition coalition Union des forces acquises a la paix (UFAP) had declared last month that its members would not take part in Patasse’s new government, saying the opposition leaders preferred to “keep their distance”.
