Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila named a new government, including opposition members, in a bid to restore confidence amid continuing insecurity in the country’s east.

The changes, which include replacing the country’s finance, defense and interior ministers and three vice-prime ministers, were announced by Kabila on national television yesterday, more than a year after he promised the formation of a government of “national cohesion.”
