Djibouti, since its Independence of 1977, is in a political and socio-economic situation that keeps worsening
The decision by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Committee on November 4th, 2020, in favour of the MRD, IS Member Party arbitrarily banned in 2008, still remains unimplemented. The Block for National Salvation (BNS), an Opposition coalition made up of the MRD and two other Parties, cannot hold any public meeting, any demonstration or march. Infringement of Human Rights are constant. Yet the regime of Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, in power since 1999, is preparing to grant himself a sixth presidential term in 2026.
The Djiboutian economy experiences a downfall which generates heavy inequalities, massive unemployment and wide-spread poverty.
IS strongly demands :
-The non-amendment of the Constitution ;
-The implementation of the decision rendered by the UN Human Rights Committee on November 4th, 2020, in favour of the MRD ;
-The establishment of the Joint Independent National Electoral Commission set up by the Framework-Agreement signed between the regime and the Opposition on December 30th, 2014, to ensure that the 2026 presidential election is at last transparent, free and fair.
