“Given the extent of the national disunity resulting from the electoral hold-up of 2018 and the sham elections of 2023, the National Council of the ECiDé invites the National Office to seek the involvement of the spiritual fathers of the country to facilitate discussions between daughters and sons of the country around the theme ‘Truth-Reconciliation-National Cohesion’.
The objective is to counter balkanization plans, put an end to recurring political crises and give the country a chance to rebuild itself” the ECIDé’s press release reads.
The ECIDé’s National Council affirmed that the illegitimacy of institutions and their leaders has led to the decay of the State and to perpetuating insecurity, exposing the country to balkanization.
