Representatives of the two major political parties have reinitiated dialogue to resolve the stalemate over the upcoming polls, with UN envoy Oscar Fernandez-Taranco mediating the talks.
After all the violence we have seen thus far, the parties’ willingness to engage in and continue with the talks is a welcome move on both their parts.
It shows renewed willingness to listen to each other and trying to compromise on a solution. This is exactly the state of mind that we expect from our parties and we hope to see it continue.
There are many issues to resolve, chief among them the polls-time government. However, using this window of opportunity to revive talks has to be seen as a helpful move because intransigence and engaging in violence has solved nothing. Rather, it has only led to injuries and deaths, and hurt the economy.
Although it is a late hour to move ahead, we must hope that this dialogue continues and the parties can come to a compromise solution that works for both parties.
