Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, Dr. Sidie Mohamed Tunis has commended the rapprochement and peace pact between President Alassane Quattara of Cote d’ivoire and former President Laurent Gbagbo. The Speaker stated this during the delocalised meeting in Abidjan, Cote d’ivoire. He also commended President Quattara for initiating the meeting and Gbagbo for accepting the reconciliation deal which he described as the spirit of true African brotherhood.
He said the meeting that was held between both men, has only helped eased the political atmosphere in the country, but it was also a display of openness, dialogue, and reconciliation.
“I, therefore, wish to use this medium to emphatically commend the political maturity exhibited by President Ouattara by initiating the meeting; he had demonstrated a true African spirit of brotherhood.
“I call on other African leaders to emulate the good gesture and, in a similar manner, I want to thank Former President Laurent Gbagbo for graciously accepting the olive branch,” he said, urging all political leaders and supporters of political parties to conform to “this show of statesmanship”.
Tunis also congratulated the Speaker of the National Assembly of Côte d’Ivoire, Amadou Soumahoro, on his re-election, stating that the National Assembly tops the list of prestigious institutions of the country.
