Aguila Saleh announces presidential election bid
“We are working to overcome the past, to close the page of conflict in the country, to open a new page and look to the future in a healthier way and to initiate national reconciliation,” Saleh told the Dubai-based Al Hadath television channel.
Claiming that he is willing to “unite the institutions in the country, support security and create a mechanism for accountability and control,” he said “national reconciliation is a cornerstone for the stability of our country.”
