FINAL COMMUNIQUE ENDORSING THE MEETING BETWEEN THE OFFICIAL CHADIAN DELEGATION AND THE CHADIAN POPULAR FRONT FOR RECOVERY (FPR)

Bangui June 13, 2011

FINAL COMMUNIQUE

ENDORSING THE MEETING BETWEEN THE OFFICIAL CHADIAN DELEGATION AND THE CHADIAN POPULAR FRONT FOR RECOVERY (FRONT POPULAIRE POUR LE REDRESSEMENT, FPR)

In the context of the notably friendly and brotherly relations between CAR and Chad, and in the current context where a State, to exist, needs to be based on values of democracy, respect for law and human rights;

Considering that CAR and Chad have clearly subscribed to these concepts and to the principle that Power may only be obtained on the basis of free, democratic and transparent elections;

Considering that in this respect, neither of these countries can tolerate the presence of a non-conventional and harmful politico-military movement in its territory;

Considering that dialogue is and will always be the only means of resolving any conflict whatever its nature;

Considering the ongoing policy of support from the Chief of the Chadian State, His Excellency President Idriss DEBY INTO, for all of his compatriots and in particular those outside the law;

Considering that in this context, an official Delegation led by the Mediator of the Republic was welcomed in Bangui by the Mediator of the Central African Republic, whose intervention was requested to facilitate a meeting with a Chadian dissident, the President of the FPR, Mr Abdelkader BABA LADDE;

After three working sessions on the 10, 11 and 12 June 2011, Members of the Central African Government intervened decisively to establish a channel of communication between the Chadian brothers and MICOPAX 1, essential for logistical security;

Preliminary discussions took place under the auspices of the Mediator of the Central African Republic His Excellency Mr Paulin POMODINO, to enable the Chadians to meet together.

The agreement they reached is summarised in the following 5 points:

1. The Popular Front for Recovery (FPR) accepts unreservedly the support of the President of the Republic, Chief of State.

2. The FPR renounces all acts of aggression and all hostile declarations in the press or by other means.

3. The FPR undertakes to behave in a manner compatible with the Laws and Regulations which govern the presence of foreigners on Central African territory.

4. The two Delegations recognise and agree on the need for a period not exceeding one month to enable the FPR to gain the agreement of the overall movement to the ongoing peace process in Bangui.

5. After this period the two Delegations will determine by mutual agreement a meeting place to discuss the peace process.

The two Chadian delegations wish to express their sincere thanks to:

The President of the Central African republic, His Excellency Army General François BOZIZE;

The most senior Central African authorities involved in this process who have spared no effort in contributing to this outcome, namely their Excellencies:

Pasteur Josué BINOUA, Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation;

Mr Claude Richard GOUANDJA, Minister of Public Security, Emigration-Immigration and of Public Security;

Colonel Jean-François BOZIZE, Minister Delegate to the Presidency of the Republic, head of National Defence, Former Combatants, War Victims and Army Restructuring;

General of the Armed Corps Xavier-Sylvestre YANGONGO, Minister Delegate to the Presidency of the Republic, Head of Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reinsertion of Ex-Combatants, and of the National Pioneer Youth;

All the people of Central Africa;

The MICOPAX 1 Multinational Force and

The Mediator of the Central African Republic and all his collaborators;

Who, on the one hand have facilitated this meeting on Central African soil, and on the other have contributed to its successful outcome, to the great satisfaction of all the participants.

In the name of the President of the Republic, Chief of State, His Excellency Army General François BOZIZE and of the Central African people, the Mediator of the Republic, His Excellency Mr Paulin POMCOIMO, acknowledges the noble spirit of the Chadian brothers, reunited and forever reconciled in order to construct a durable peace in the interior of Chad and on its borders, certain proof of the whole nation’s determination to develop Chad.
