The agenda of the head of state took on a strong political dimension yesterday. And for good reason, following the special envoy of the President of the African Union Commission (UA) to resolve the border dispute between Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema also met with the special envoy of the UA for Madagascar, Mohamed Idrissa Farah, and the UN Special Representative to the UA, Parfait Onanga-Anyanga.

The exchanges took place within the framework of the ongoing Refondation process in the Grande Île, aiming to draw inspiration from Gabon’s experience in managing transition. The head of state presented his hosts with the main commitments of the Transition in Gabon, based on inclusivity, respect for agreements, organization of a national dialogue and preservation of peace, unity, and social cohesion.

Everything that constituted the basis for organizing free, transparent, apaisé, credible and accepted elections by all. With the goal of returning to constitutional order, restoring institutions and restoring Gabonese dignity on the grounds of reforms. The latter touched several aspects of society in strengthening transparency in electoral processes and consolidating national sovereignty, while reestablishing confidence among citizens in institutions.

Madagascar’s success in this area was saluted by Mohamed Idrissa Farah and Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, who described it as a model for many states on the continent and elsewhere. As part of this process, Madagascar is being led by Colonel Michaël Randrianirina.
