The agenda of the head of state took on a strong political dimension yesterday. And for cause, following the special envoy of the President of the African Union Commission (UA) to the Gabon-Guinea Equatorial front, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema also met with the special envoy of the UA to Madagascar, Mohamed Idrissa Farah, and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General to the UA, Parfait Onanga-Anyanga.
These exchanges fit into the framework of the Refounding process currently underway in the Grande Île, aiming to draw inspiration from the Gabonese experience in managing transition. The head of state presented to his hosts the main commitments of the Transition to Gabon, based on inclusivity, respect for engagements, organization of a national dialogue, and preservation of peace, unity, and social cohesion.
Everything that has constituted the basis of organizing free, transparent, apacified, credible, and accepted elections. With a key point being a return to constitutional order, restoration of institutions, and dignity of Gabonese people on the back of reforms that touched several segments of society, reinforcing transparency in electoral processes and consolidating national sovereignty, while restoring confidence among citizens in institutions.
Mohamed Idrissa Farah and Parfait Onanga-Anyanga praised the success of the Transition to Gabon, all the more so because it constitutes a model for many states on the continent and elsewhere. To recall, Madagascar is engaged on this path under the leadership of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina. The latter, during his recent visit to our country, had praised this successful Gabonese experience and lauded the quality of infrastructure, in particular that of the Omar-Bongo-Ondimba Congress Palace.
