as reported from Bangui, Carol Valade
During consultations before the formation of his government, Prime Minister Henri Marie Dondra offered a post to the opposition coalition Cod 2020.
The approach is not unanimous within the ruling party, MCU.
Cod 2020 is currently shrinking. His spokesman, Me Nicolas Tiangaye, explains why: “Entering a government today would be a real violation on the part of the opposition.” Legitimacy as long as there is no political compromise on the post-election crisis. “
But the refusal is not final. Code 2020 states the conditions: “we must first initiate an inclusive political dialogue, so that there is a national consensus on the most important directions in this country. And it is on this basis that we can accept yes or no to joining a government that we must know in the programmatic circle, the political goals to be achieved so that all this leads to peace and national reconciliation. “
And that’s the rub. For opponents, this dialogue must take place under the leadership of the international community with an external mediator and integrate the active armed groups, including the CPC.
“Excluded”, for the government as well as for the UN. Defense groups must first lay down their arms and refrain from violence in order to be included in the dialogue.
