The detailed program and duration of these meetings are not yet known. The Prime Minister, the Minister of Territorial Administration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are responsible for preparing these meetings.
The meetings should revolve around issues of national reconciliation and transitional justice. With a stranger: it is unclear whether political and economic reforms will also be discussed asks a civil society actor.
The meetings will then be followed by a “national dialogue”. Meetings so demanded by politicians who want to give their opinion on the duration of the transition. Two days ago, 58 political parties have denounced the lack of consultation and ” the unilateral vision of the CNRD in the conduct of public affairs.

This announcement would be rather linked to the speech of the president of the transition on December 31 last. Mamadi Doumbouya then announced the outfit ” days of truth and forgiveness “, for, according to him, to build” a sacred union “.
