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 (UA) to the Gabon-Guinea Equatorial border dispute, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema also met with the special envoy of the UA for Madagascar, Mohamed Idrissa Farah, and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General to the UA, Parfait Onanga-Anyanga.
The exchanges take place within the framework of the Refondation process underway in the Grande Île, aiming to draw inspiration from the Gabonese experience in managing transition. The head of state presented his guests with the main engagements of the Transition in Gabon, based on inclusivity, respect for commitments, organization of a national dialogue, and constant preservation of peace, national unity, and social cohesion.
Everything that has constituted the basis of organizing free, transparent, peaceful, credible, and accepted elections by all. With the key being a return to constitutional order, the restoration of institutions, and the dignity of Gabonese citizens on the backdrop of reforms that have touched several aspects of society, reinforcing transparency in electoral processes and consolidating national sovereignty, while restoring citizen confidence in institutions.

Mohamed Idrissa Farah and Parfait Onanga-Anyanga welcomed the success of the Transition in Gabon, all the more so since it constitutes a model for many states on the continent and elsewhere. To recall, the Republic of Madagascar is embarked on this path under the leadership of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina. The latter, during his recent visit to our country, had hailed this Gabonese success and praised the quality of the infrastructure, particularly that of the Omar-Bongo-Ondimba Congress Palace.
