AW: Re: [WSIS CS-Plenary] Statement - To be read at WSIS/ITUinformal planning

[djilali benamrane]

It seems that it is not the best approach to proceed
as we are doing. Every one think that he or she is the
representative of SC to enhance a debate with Tunisian
CS everywhere and anytime et on any subject... At the
end we shall lsot a vision on what we want to do....
It is time to have a minima option of the CS regarding
the Tunis Summit before caucus and regional SC
meetings develop discussions with our Tunisian
parteners in and out Tunisia.
....
Si tout un chacun développe des discussions avec nos
partenaires tunisiens on risque d'aller dans tous les
sens sans vision commune élémentaire...
Nous devrions convenir d'un minimum de consensus
global avant de lance des discussions tous azimuths
avec nos partenaires tunisiens à l'intérieur et à
l'extérieur de la Tunisie.
Je ne crois pas en la priorité donnée aux journalistes
au détriment des femmes, des jeunes, des vieux, des
chômeurs ou des handicapés ou de l'élite et des
entrepreneurs.
Ayons une vision minimale et une statégie concertée,
on défendra mieux nos intérêts
