The altercation that occurred on March 27, 2018 in Yaoundé between the Central African Minister of Finance, Henri-Marie Dondra, and the chairman of the CEMAC commission, the Gabonese Daniel Ona Ondé, is not ready to fade. Supported by the executives of the institution, Daniel Ona Ondé continues to believe that the situation in Bangui is not yet normal.
Hence the firm protests of the Central African Republic that supports the opposite. Behind the scenes, the Central African Republic would now campaign for the appointment of another Gabonese to this post. Chad’s President, Idriss Deby, President-in-Office of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), would have set the record straight, recalling that the CEMAC is in Malabo. Not enough to bring calm, reports the website of Jeune Afrique, “no member of the Central African government took part in the meeting of CEMAC” held March 23 in N’Djamena.
Far from being convinced, the Gabonese Daniel Ona Ondo lamented, on the sidelines of the sale of the CEMAC parliament, which takes place from April 3 to 11, 2018 in Ndjamena, “the tendentious and untimely speeches that exploit the Central African opinion” . And to hammer it again: “all conditions are not yet met in Bangui”.
Heads of State of CEMAC had decided to return the commission to the Central African Republic at a meeting held in February 2017. An envelope of 1 billion FCFA has been earmarked for the rehabilitation of the headquarters. It remains to be agreed, among both, on the definition of normality.
