[rpd] CO-CHAIRS AND AIS '21

[Arnaud AMELINA]

Mon Cher Daniel,

Courir ou Sauter, l'importance est d'arriver à la bonne destination, et
avec ce qui s'est passé, je suis convaincu que nous y sommes arrivés, je
dis encore félicitation à la communauté du PDP et bon courage dans leur
mission au nouveaux co-chairs. Vous aimez le principe de vote dans le PDWG
parce que facilement manipulable, non ? Et nous en avons eu les preuves à
maintes reprises, nous sommes une communauté, du moins à ce que je pense,
pas des antagonistes, ni moins des ennemis, alors pourquoi ne pouvons-nous
pas nous entendre pour régler et faire avancer les choses en regardant
l'intérêt de l'Afrique pas nos propres intérêts? Tu es le seul à toujours
dire qu'on ne s'entend pas, que les gens sont égoïstes, qu'on est divisé,
qu'il n'est pas possible d'obtenir un consensus entre nous, mais tout ce
qui s'est passé ces derniers temps ta donné tort, alors résous toi à
rejoindre le groupe, laisse tes intérêts personnels et cesses de soutenir
les ennemis de l'Afrique. Merci pour ta compréhension. Si tu t'es senti
offensé alors toutes mes excuses. Mais c'est ce que j'ai sur le coeur ce
beau matin, suite à ton message que je viens de lire. Bonne journée à
toutes et à tous.

Arnaud
