Unconditional Dialogue: A Step Toward National Consensus
The President of the El Insaf Party, Mohamed Melainine Ould Eyih, has affirmed that the upcoming political dialogue in Mauritania will proceed with those who are present, without any preconditions. Speaking during a press conference, Ould Eyih emphasized that the government and ruling party are committed to an inclusive and open dialogue, but will not allow the process to be stalled by those who choose not to participate.
He clarified that the dialogue is not intended to serve the interests of any single party, but rather to address national concerns and strengthen democratic practices. The El Insaf Party, which leads the ruling coalition, views the dialogue as a platform for all political actors to express their views and contribute to shaping the country’s future.
Key Principles Guiding the Dialogue
Ould Eyih outlined several principles that will guide the dialogue process, stressing the importance of transparency and national interest. He reiterated that the dialogue will be held regardless of the number of participants, and that the absence of some parties will not hinder its progress.
- The dialogue will be inclusive but not dependent on full participation.
- No preconditions will be accepted from any political party or group.
- The process aims to reinforce democratic values and national unity.
- All political actors are welcome to join at any stage of the dialogue.
He also noted that the government has already taken steps to create a conducive environment for dialogue, including engaging with various political stakeholders and civil society organizations. The goal, he said, is to ensure that the dialogue reflects the diverse voices of Mauritanian society.
Opposition Participation and the Road Ahead
While some opposition parties have expressed reservations about the dialogue, Ould Eyih urged them to reconsider their stance and join the process. He stressed that the door remains open for all political forces to participate, and that the dialogue is a national necessity rather than a partisan initiative.
He also warned against attempts to delay or derail the process through demands that could be seen as obstructive. According to Ould Eyih, the country cannot afford to wait indefinitely for consensus, and the government is determined to move forward with those who are ready to engage constructively.
Conclusion: A Dialogue for the Nation’s Future
The El Insaf Party’s position on the upcoming political dialogue reflects a firm commitment to national unity and democratic development. By insisting on an open and unconditional process, the party aims to foster a political environment where all voices can be heard, but without allowing any group to hold the process hostage. As the dialogue moves forward, its success will depend on the willingness of all stakeholders to prioritize the nation’s interests over partisan agendas.
