Comoros: The Army Calls for dialogue
By African Bulletin on May 13, 2010
Rare occurrence in the archipelago, the army reacts after the Constitutional Court decision, and in anticipation of the end of the President’s, Ahmed Abdallah Sambi, mandate term on May 26. The military are challenging the political class, and call all the concerned parties to “a frank and constructive dialogue to preserve peace and security of the country.” The post May 26 Negotiations, between the government, the islands’ executives and the opposition should resume in the current week.
The Army stresses the need for consensus, as stipulated by the decision of the Constitutional Court. In a published text, the Army pounded it will not tolerate threats, provocation or attack during the ongoing dialogue between the Union President and Chief Executives of the islands. But the publication of this text comes at a tense atmosphere between the army and the executive; and the international community is multiplying trips between the islands to try to revive these talks, the only way to end the crisis as proposed by the Constitutional Court.
