The Chairperson further encourages all the actors to engage in it with courage and determination while assuring them, to this end, of the resolute support of the African Union. Said the statement.

“In order to achieve full unity and develop the country at the expense of the government,” the statement said yesterday.
The government has also said that the decision to release the detainees is part of a process to pave the way for national dialogue aimed at creating a better political platform.
The Ministry of Justice, for its part, said the accused in the case file of Jawar Mohamed and Iskindir Negga should be dropped so that the forthcoming national dialogue in the country could be participatory and fruitful.
