Canada pre-pre-talks yet to meet the threshold for credibility

It is widely known that there are exploratory pre-talks ongoing in Canada. What is not known are the content and context.

Ambazonia News believes that the level secrecy is against Ambazonia interests as it is creating speculative and corrosive comments.

We Ambazonians should know and expect such occurrences in the context.

The IG has made representations to the facilitators to set out the thresholds for transparency and representativeness of the process. The IG trusts in the will of We The Ambazonians and trusts that any failures to meet the thresholds will delay our journey to Buea but not halt it.

The credibility of the process will have an impact on the reputations of the parties involved, not least those with banks of diplomatic capital and integrity and fairness in global affairs.

The question of representativeness arises from the presence of ill-defined parties whose status and roles the facilitator has failed to adequately explain. This lack of transparency was compounded when the last session was conducted without consulting or inviting the IG delegates.

While the IG did not expect the Canadian facilitator to be working for Ambazonia we expected, as a minimum, that they would be neutral and seek to uphold the integrity and credibility of the process.
