The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will begin political consultations on Monday to form a government of national unity amid a deepening security crisis, a senior official announced Saturday.

Desire-Cashmir Kolongele Eberande, the DRC president's special security advisor, said the consultations will involve the Sacred Union, the ruling parliamentary coalition, opposition parties within and outside parliament, civil society, and prominent figures, including former presidential candidates.
