The government of the Central African Republic and the armed groups that joined it in a peace agreement have reached an agreement to form an "inclusive government," said Wednesday the African Union.

"The Central African authorities and the 14 armed groups (who) signed the peace agreement negotiated at the beginning of February in Khartoum agreed on an" inclusive government "in Addis Ababa," said the AU .

This agreement is the eighth attempt at peace in this impoverished and conflict-ridden state since 2012.

Signed in Bangui, the Central African capital, on February 6, after negotiations in Sudan, it brings together the Central African government and 14 armed groups that control most of the country.

The agreement called for a series of confidence-building measures, such as the establishment of joint patrols and the creation of a truth and justice commission within 90 days.

In accordance with the provisions of the peace agreement, President Faustin-Archange Touadera has agreed to form an "inclusive" government.

But in the space of a few weeks, the agreement was put to the test: five groups of militias either withdrew from the new government or rejected it.

On Tuesday, 11 of 14 groups called on Prime Minister Firmin Ngrebada to withdraw, calling for a "national unity government" and direct talks with President Faustin-Archange Touadera.
