The pre-dialogue between the transitional power and the politico-military movements continues in Doha, Qatar.
The parties are working on each other's draft agreements, but the rebel groups have just emerged from torpor to denounce "
the government's commitment to hold inclusive dialogue from May 10
".
All are practically certain that the negotiations will not yet lead to an agreement.

The three platforms that bring together the politico-military -
Rome, Doha and Qatar - are unanimous.
For them, the pre-dialogue has not yet reached cruising speed.
They believe that, under these conditions, the government's statement is further proof of its "
bad faith
".
"
Bad Will
"
“
They may not want us to attend.
And in this case, they will hold their dialogue and it will not be inclusive.
This confirms the ill will that is already reflected in the text for the agreement they offered us
,” said the president of the Rome group, Colonel Adoum Yacoub.
The spokesperson for the Doha group, Abakar Assileck Halata, added that it is not up to the transitional government, which is one of the parties to the negotiations, to impose its timetable on the pre-dialogue: "
We have waited 30 years for the government is waiting two months for this problem to be dealt with in the smallest details so that we do not return to the combat field or the military field

“
The government wants Doha to succeed
”
The spokesman for the transitional government wants to be reassuring.
"
No line of this statement calls into question the Doha negotiations
", insisted Abderaman Koulamallah.
“
On the contrary, the government wants Doha to succeed.
We have constraints.
We want to work within the timing that we have set up.
Now, if the real Doha dialogue will take time, we will advise

In the meantime, the slow and cautious pace impelled by the Qatari mediation to these negotiations seems to have slowed down even more with Ramadan.
Several delegates today say they expect a “
long and laborious
” process.
