In a political context marked by strong tensions surrounding the resolution aimed at dismissing Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, the Historic Compromise and Democratic Resistance (RED) have published a note which aims to be both a signal of appeasement and a call for institutional order.
Following official declarations and the correspondence addressed by their representative, Mr. Smith Augustin, to the Coordinator of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), the two political entities acknowledge an evolution they deem encouraging in the management of the current crisis. They particularly welcome the call for an emergency meeting between the CPT and the Prime Minister, with a view to developing a consensual modus operandi in line with the Nation's best interest.
For the Historic Compromise and RED, this initiative constitutes a step in the right direction. It reflects, according to them, a desire to break with confrontational reflexes and hazardous political adventures that have too often plunged the country into instability, in favor of dialogue, consultation, and state responsibility.
In their note, the signatories recall that their political commitment has, from the outset, been based on constant principles: inclusive dialogue, permanent consultation, responsible political compromise, and, above all, the primacy of national interest over any personal or circumstantial consideration. In their view, the legitimacy of leaders can only be durably ensured by universal suffrage and respect for the constitutional framework.
Beyond the immediate situation, the message is addressed to all actors in the transition. The Historic Compromise and RED urge them to demonstrate restraint, political maturity, and a sense of state responsibility in order to preserve institutional stability, strengthen national security, and create the indispensable conditions for organizing credible, inclusive, and transparent elections.
Implicitly, this stance serves as a warning: any decision made outside of consensus, or motivated by narrow calculations, risks further weakening an already pressured transitional process. Conversely, only a responsible approach, based on dialogue and respect for institutions, can pave the way for a lasting return to democratic and constitutional order.
Through this note, the Historic Compromise and Democratic Resistance thus attempt to establish themselves as a voice of moderation in a political landscape often dominated by tension, reminding that exiting the crisis depends less on power struggles than on a real will to build a collective future.
