Sous l’impulsion de son président Yao Daté, le Comité d’Action pour le Renouveau (CAR) veut connaître une nouvelle dynamique en s’engageant dans la voie de la co-gestion, un concept inspiré par feu Maître Agboyibo. Le plan est séduisant : il s’agit de rassembler les forces de l’opposition pour contraindre de façon formelle le parti UNIR à céder des parcelles de gouvernance aux opposants. L’idée derrière cette co-gestion ou gestion par consensus est de constituer un bloc assez solide, donner du poids à l’opposition et, de ce fait, forcer à un rééquilibrage du pouvoir. Les limites de la co-gestion en question Malgré ses apparentes vertus, la co-gestion du CAR va présenter des limites importantes. En effet, gouverner par consensus signifie qu’on doit composer avec des visions divergentes, ce qui empêche de facto la réalisation pleine et entière des idées portées par les partis. Les gouvernements de coalition ou de co-gestion sont toujours...

Sunday November 17, 2024 Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi accused foreign diplomats of violating Somalia’s sovereignty and unity following remarks made during Somaliland’s recent presidential elections in Hargeisa.  Speaking at a graduation ceremony for diplomats on Saturday, Fiqi criticized ambassadors for referring to Somaliland as a separate country, asserting their statements overstepped diplomatic mandates. “Unfortunately, ambassadors make statements there while failing to acknowledge they are representatives to Somalia properly,” Fiqi stated. “Some even referred to Somaliland as a country, which contradicts Somalia’s territorial integrity.”  Fiqi disclosed that the federal government had summoned Denmark’s ambassador and warned all foreign diplomats to respect Somalia’s sovereignty. “Future statements regarding Somaliland must clearly state it is a region of Somalia. Failing to do so will lead to appropriate measures,” he warned.  International observers had earlier lauded Somaliland’s National Electoral Commission (NEC) for conducting peaceful and transparent elections. Diplomats monitored polling...
