We have consistently stated our position for months, including at the president’s residence: we have a responsibility to do everything possible to reach agreements. In a recent interview, I reiterated the need to make a concerted effort to prevent further unrest and division in the country. It’s important for everyone to listen to each other’s perspectives and pain, rather than resorting to blame. Rather than engaging in personal attacks, I urge those who have brought the country to the brink of division to listen to the full interview and avoid preaching. One of our principles is that the government will not appoint judges unilaterally, and we must work towards an agreement that preserves democracy and prevents further splits in the people. We remain focused on clear communication and remain resolute in our commitment as a brotherly people.
Our position is consistent, it has been stated for months and also in the president’s residence: we have a responsibility to do everything possible to reach agreements.
I also said in the interview this morning that we need to make a concerted effort to avoid returning to burning streets and deepening the rift in the nation. All sides are hurting and we all need to listen to everyone’s voices and pain.
I understand that some have already started the blame game, but things are simple and everyone is invited to listen to the full interview, and not make announcements following partial quotes.
I will not descend to the level of personal attacks as others do, I will only suggest to those who brought the country to the brink of fratricidal war to listen to what was said and avoid preaching.
Like the coalition supporters, we also have principles: among them, that the government will not appoint judges on its own. There are opposing positions and now everything must be done to reach an agreement that will preserve democracy and prevent a split in the people.
We are focused on communication and are not moved by background noise. We are brotherly people.
