The repeal of Order 14/2016 is expected to pave the way for a more inclusive and participatory decision-making process within the Council. By giving local communities a voice in shaping policies and initiatives related to the southern border, the Council aims to foster greater trust and cooperation among all stakeholders involved in efforts to promote peace and development in the region.
The decision to repeal Order 14/2016 was met with overwhelming support from Council members, with 189 votes in favor and only 3 votes against.
