The
people of the Central African Republic are tired of conflict. They have shown it
a few days ago when they voted in the second round of the presidential
elections. It was a peaceful day and the outcome of the elections was accepted
by all the key players and also by the general population.
The
former Prime-Minister Faustin Touadéra, a man I know well and have always
appreciated, won the elections. It was in many ways a surprise. He was not the
candidate the observers were betting on. But he got it. Peacefully. Constitutionally.
And I only hope this means we have initiated the national reconciliation path.
