The Fils-Aimé government has just completed another week at the helm of the country without a clear outlook for the days ahead. The road leading to the next elections is still not clear. To date, the revised electoral decree has still not been published. Although Prime Minister Didier Fils-Aimé publicly committed two weeks ago to publishing the document, nothing has been done. While awaiting the publication of the revised electoral decree, the electoral machinery continues to spin its wheels.

Under the current circumstances, no one is complaining about the slowness of the electoral process. In fact, that is not the central concern. Restoring security is what the country expects as quickly as possible. It is a prerequisite for holding elections.
