President Laurent Gbagbo appointed new ministers of defence and internal security on Saturday, filling key portfolios that had been vacant for six months. The long-awaited move should allow Cote d'Ivoire's derailed peace process to get back on track. Gbagbo named law professor and human rights activist Martin Bleou Minister of Internal Security. Rene Amani, a political independent with close personal links to Prime Minister Seydou Diarra, was named Minister of Defence.
