The government is really pushing us to the ranks of the opposition. They have to accept the new reality on, the ground, the age of public resources looting, impunity, arbitrary detentions is coming to an end.
IOG & his party are getting ready for a 4th term in 2016 and want to silence all dissent before then. They don't realize they're just precipitating their fall.
I am losing hope in a smooth transition to democracy & I hope we will be mature enough to keep divisive politics & tribalism away in our fight against this ruling mafia. As a Djib, I deeply believe in peace so let's resist peacefully (strikes, sit ins, civil disobedience etc…)
Notre ennemi c'est un système, c'est cette clique corrompu jusqu'aux os, restons unis & soudé pour nous débarrasser d'IOG et de sa clique, dans la PAIX!
