With our correspondent in Bangui, Rolf Steve Domia-leu
A festive and colorful rhythm by traditional instruments. In recent months, it is rare to hear it in Bangui, a modern city. But with the referendum campaign in progress, traditional dancers are seen and heard in every corner of the capital.
In Unity Square, the campaign team of the United Hearts movement raises awareness regarding the draft of the new Constitution. Trésor Adoum is one of them, he was seduced by the provisions for young people. ” There is article 67 which talks regarding youth… Article 89 too… Today, a young Central African can be a deputy or president, that did not exist before. These are the two main reasons that will push me to vote for the “oui” ».
In this campaign, the Democratic Movement for Central African Renewal and the National Democratic Union for Progress, which had initially called on their supporters to vote “no”, finally ask to abstain. The republican bloc for the defense of the Constitution, for its part, maintains the boycott slogan.
« In article 65 of this project, the president is assigned several powers to the detriment of other institutions, so it is unacceptable for us, activists and members of the BRDC “, explains Nguemalé, an activist. The campaign will end this Friday and the ballot will be held this Sunday, July 30.
