The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) appointed a new government, spokesperson Tina Salama announced on Wednesday, ending a more than five months impasse following President Felix Tshisekedi's re-election.
In the new cabinet, comprising 54 ministers compared to 57 in the last government, Guy Kabombo Muadiamvita - a lawyer by training - was given the key post of defense minister as the country faces a severe security crisis in the east.
