  Douala, 13thDecember 2005.

  As participant to the Tunis Summit and member of the African civil
  society, may I recall that we were very surprised by the propaganda
  organised by many non African media against the summit.

  Despite the efforts deployed to make the summit fail, we know that
  this summit was one of the UN most successful one organised.

  I understand that men and women can disagree even on human
  rights issues since the priorities of Africa maynot be the priorities
  of other continents. But as civil society organisations, we must
  reach a fair consensus and generally agree on our differences
  when they arise. Publishing as consensus a unilateral position
  may not be fair.

  Somebody should care somewhere on the false image of Africa
  portrayed by the majority of western media and fair communication
  and consensus among civil society organisations can help in this.

  I wish to thank all those who don't  only keep a false image of
  what happen in the Tunis summit.

  Yours sincerely,

  Pierre Chekem
  Partnership Coordinator,

Dear Rikke,
Sorry, i red your message after sending mine, calling
colleagues to stop if possible this debate.
I do not agree with your explanation and as long as we
dont agree on a commun version you cannot consider it
as a consensual one.
You can if you want propose a new text indicating that
the CS has been divided and report on the two
versions, but please don't take an unilateral
position.... 
best regards

Je ne partage pas la proposition de Rikke et je
préfère personnellement que dans le texte il y ait une
indication sur les deux positions et interprétations
de la société civile en la matière. Sinon nous
tirerons les conséquences d'une disposition prise
unilatéralement.
Amitiés
