Rebels, Opposition Form Govt. in Central African Republic

The Central African Republic's Prime Minister Nicolas Tiangaye on Sunday named his new post-coup government mostly made up of rebels and members of the former opposition after being brought back by self-proclaimed president Michel Djotodia, under a decree read on national radio.

The 34-member cabinet includes nine ministers from the rebel Seleka coalition that has been in power for a week, eight from the former opposition and one close to ex-president Francois Bozize. The other 16 are largely unknown.
