Open Letter: The Priority of today’s talks

Opening the door to negotiations can be a positive step for any administration, including the expiring administration of President Said Deni.

Negotiations provide an opportunity for dialogue, consensus-building, and conflict resolution, which can contribute to political stability and the overall well-being of a country. Here are a few reasons why the administration should consider opening the door to negotiations:

1 - Inclusive decision-making: Negotiations allow for the inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives in the decision-making process. By engaging in talks, the administration can ensure that the concerns and aspirations of different stakeholders are heard and considered. This inclusivity can help build trust, reduce marginalization, and promote political stability.

2 - Conflict resolution: there are ongoing conflicts or disputes within the country, and negotiations can provide a platform to address and resolve them. By bringing conflicting parties together, the administration can foster an environment of dialogue and understanding, seeking mutually acceptable solutions. This can help prevent the escalation of tensions and contribute to long-term stability.

3 - National unity: Negotiations can help promote national unity by bridging divisions and fostering a sense of shared purpose. By engaging in dialogue with various groups, the administration can work towards finding common ground and building consensus
on important issues. This can strengthen social cohesion and contribute to political stability.

4 - Legacy and continuity: Opening the door to negotiations demonstrates a commitment to peaceful and inclusive governance. It sets a positive example for future administrations and contributes to the continuity of democratic practices. By engaging in negotiations, the expiring administration can leave a legacy of promoting dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts.

5. International reputation: Embracing negotiations can enhance the international reputation of the administration and the country as a whole. It shows a willingness to engage with the international community, seek diplomatic solutions, and prioritize stability and peace. This can attract support and cooperation from other countries, which can be beneficial for the country’s development and security.

It is important to note that the decision to open the door to negotiations should be based on careful consideration of the specific context and objectives of the administration. It is also crucial to ensure that negotiations are conducted in a transparent, inclusive, and accountable manner to achieve meaningful outcomes.
