...really based on five key issues. One is, how do we restore people's freedoms? We really need a new constitution; we need to establish a rule of law. We need to depoliticize the security institutions and national institutions, which have been so militarized and politicized. We need to fix the economy by restoring macroeconomic stability in the country and reconstruction in the country. For that we need international support.
