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.
