Rebels and government forces in the Central African Republic have agreed to a ceasefire after talks held in Gabon.
The ceasefire follows three days of negotiations after a month-long rebellion was sparked in early December. The deal states that President Francois Bozize can remain in power until 2016 and calls for the dissolution of the country’s National Assembly as well as the appointment of a Prime Minister.
Rebel spokesman Eric Massi told Reuters,
“This is a good deal to bring peace,"
"But the ceasefire is contingent on several of our demands being met and we will judge Mr. Bozize's sincerity in the coming days."
