The Moloua 3 government, met with controversy in Bangui
In Bangui, 24 hours after the publication of the presidential decree announcing the Moloua 3 government, opinion is divided on the matter; a quick chat with passers-by in the capital is enough to see that. For some, continuity is reassuring; for others, it lacks fresh impetus and new ideas to tackle the new challenges. In any case, the comments are flying thick and fast. And the criterion for selection was not the interests of the people, but loyalty to Touadéra – a sort of reward, as is the case with Héritier Doneng. For the opponents, it is a lack of boldness, a missed opportunity to inject new ideas and fresh perspectives to tackle the current challenges; for the supporters, it is a chance to allow the team to finish what has been started. Except that this is to quickly forget that the country is barely recovering from 10 years of civil war, that entire swathes of the territory are in the hands of armed gangs, and not to forget that this country has been under the supervision of the UN (MINUSCA), that the army (FACA) is poorly led, with soldiers who are poorly paid, or not paid at all, resorting to banditry to survive, and who in any case would not withstand two hours of sustained fire. that the country has lost its independence, handed over, bound hand and foot, to Russian mercenaries. That this landlocked country is one of the poorest in the world, proudly digging wells and boreholes for water – what is the value of loyalty to Toudéra (who cheated twice to become President) in all of this! And we take the same people and start all over again.
