We trust the interim government, but to set a precedent for good governance, it must be anchored in a commitment that guarantees accountability, justice, and real change.
The commitment will be bound by a written agreement.
The agreement is a deal between the interim government and Gen-Z.
- It sets rules, responsibilities, and timelines
- It ensures that the revolution’s demands become actions
- Negotiated agreements fill the credible commitment problem
Why do we need a political agreement?
- Builds Trust
- Gives the interim government legitimacy
- Gives the revolution’s causes legitimacy
- Turns promises into committed actions
- Ensures accountability
Builds Trust
This agreement is essentially a commitment by the interim government in
writing. It is a morally binding agreement.
It builds mutual trust between the people and the government.
Legitimacy of the Interim Govt.
An agreement identifies the central authority that both sides accept, preventing a power vacuum or competing claims to power.
Legitimacy of the Revolution
This revolution is not disorder.
It is the people’s will.
A political agreement acknowledges the legitimacy of the revolution’s causes.
Accountability
The interim government was born out of the people’s struggle.
It must answer directly to the people.
A political agreement provides checks and balances to the interim government.
Turn Demands to Commitments
The revolution’s demands are clear.
A political agreement ensures demands are being incorporated into actions.
- Short-term demands = justice, anti- corruption, and transparent elections.
- Long-term demands = structural change, federal strengthening, and future stability.
