The OIC Secretary General calls on the Tunisian parties to engage in dialogue to overcome the current crisis and maintain the country’s stability and gains

Date: 23/01/2016

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation stressed that it has followed closely the waves of legitimate social protests witnessed by several regions in the Republic of Tunisia, noting that the Tunisian Government has expressed its commitment and seriousness in considering them and responding to them within possible abilities. The OIC expressed its satisfaction with the firm and significant steps taken by Tunisia towards democratic transition in a record short time. The OIC appealed to all to remain calm and not to resort to violence or sabotage in order to maintain the gains achieved so far and build on them so as to realize the aspirations of the Tunisian people for a promising and more secure future. The OIC Secretary General, Iyad Ameen Madani, indicated that the international appreciation gained by Tunisia after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, should urge all Tunisian active and responsible parties to engage further in dialogue and reasoning, adopt the steps required to overcome this crisis, and preserve the country’s stability. Mr. Madani added that criminals and outlaws should not be allowed to undermine the country’s gains nor the security and interests of its people.
