We are still looking for several ideas.”

He added: “We got some positive reactions from them. What matters to us is that they understand the importance of this initiative at the present time. Its importance lies in its widest possible participation.” He stressed the importance of everyone’s participation and contribution in this initiative. “We did not only talk with the National Unity government.
