LAGOS NOVEMBER 28TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, the Secretary-General of the International Organization of la Francophonie, Louise Mushikiwabo and the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, undertook a tripartite visit to Yaoundé, Cameroon, from 26 to 28 November 2019, in order to exchange views with the national actors on the situation in Cameroon.
A statement made available to NewsRangers explained that the tripartite mission is an extension of the visits that the leaders of the above-mentioned organizations had undertaken over the last months to Cameroon.
It stated that the aim of the tripartite mission was to encourage the ongoing national efforts for the implementation of the conclusions of the Grand National Dialogue, and support the pacification of the situation, peace-building, national cohesion and unity in this important country, which is a member of the three organizations.
The
tripartite mission held talks with the President of the Republic, His
Excellency Paul BIYA and the Prime Minister, Joseph Dion Ngute. It also met
with the main political actors, religious leaders, youth representatives and
other Civil Society Organizations.
The
Chairperson of African Union Commission, the Secretaries General of the OIF and
Commonwealth welcomed the convening of the Grand National Dialogue which
ushered in a new dynamic and which recommended, inter alia, the acceleration of
decentralization, the special status of the North West and South West regions,
and the review of the education and legal systems, including the measures taken
by President Biya to defuse political tensions. Convinced that dialogue remains
the preferred path to be encouraged within the present Cameroonian context,
they encouraged all the stakeholders to continue on the path of wisdom and
responsibility, particularly that of the government in the implementation of
the conclusions of the Grand National Dialogue.
The
Chairperson of the AU Commission and the Secretaries General reaffirmed their
commitment to support the national actors in the quest for ways and means to
reach the necessary national political consensus, and the creation of
conditions conducive to the conduct of legislative and local elections,
particularly in the North West and South West regions of the country, in peace,
national unity and in accordance with our shared democratic values. The three
leaders also urged for every effort to be made in order to restore security,
justice and the conditions for the resumption of normal life in the regions
affected by the crisis.
