Bissau (IINA) – Guinea-Bissau has formed a new government, according to a presidential decree issued early Tuesday, ending a two-month political stalemate in the coup-plagued West African nation, AFP reported.
The new team includes 15 ministers and 14 secretaries of state, mostly from the previous government and the ruling African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC).
The natural resources and interior portfolios have not yet been assigned and will be managed by 81-year-old acting premier Carlos Correia, who became the third prime minister in just over a month after he was appointed in September.
Opposition groups -the Party for Democratic Convergence (PCD) and the Union for Change (UM) -are also represented in the new government, although the second-biggest party – the Party of Social Renovation – chose not to participate.
