The Special Envoy reiterated that all the components of the transition, including the members of the Sovereign Council, the Cabinet, and the Forces of Freedom and Change, should avoid brinkmanship and mutual recrimination, and instead work together to resolve any areas of contention through dialogue without preconditions.
