JournalDuMali.com: URD: Soumi, return DEMBELE By David - 25/01/2011 This is one of the favorites for the post ATT. If he is a candidate, incumbent President of the WAEMU Commission, will he, after a long absence, bounce on
national political scene? For 7 years, Soumaila Cisse, President of the Union for the Republic and Democracy (URD) has been (deliberately?) Away from the national political scene. If rubbed the heads of state of the sub-region and the world's leading finance, Mali, when talking of his party, he was not necessarily the figure appeared. At the end of his term as head of the WAEMU Commission, it is the country and will, without doubt, one of the personalities that will mark the upcoming presidential. Equipped with an impressive address book and a fortune that is said to huge, here "Soumi" back! In 2002, he was the "candidate of the future." And the future looks increasingly close to him. In any case, its activists and supporters want to believe as hard as iron, even if they know that the battle will be tough to pass in the second round. Already, within his party, he has little to fear. One that could overshadow him, the former minister Ibrahim Oumar Touré, will not enough time to manage his personal problems with the State and the Global Fund. Now remains to convince the Malian his absence has not disconnected from the country. To plead on his behalf, the achievements made by the WAEMU, Mali. With funding from the sub-regional financial institution, many development projects were implemented, improving the living conditions of beneficiaries. A good place for the man who has long understood that communication plays an important role in building the image of a candidate and that during his tenure has done everything to give, through the UEMOA visibility. The caravan organized by the integration chain Africable, among others, is one example. First recall that Soumaila Cissé began his political career in the ADEMA / PASJ. It becomes, after the election of Alpha Oumar Konare in 1992, Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic. In 1993 he was appointed Minister of Finance and in 2000 Minister of Equipment, Territorial Planning, Environment and Urban Affairs in the government of Mande Sidibe. In January 2002 he resigned from the government to concentrate on preparing presidential election. It is indeed invested by ADEMA / PASJ as a candidate for the succession of Alpha Oumar Konare. Came second in the first round, he was defeated by Amadou Toumani Touré in the second round. Considering having been abandoned by President Alpha Oumar Konare, will leave the ADEMA / PASJ with party activists to found the URD in June 2003. . A party that has taken hold in all local authorities in the country and is regarded as the second political force, after Adema. But the question that arises is whether benefit Soumaila Cisse support of its allies in 2012. Starting with those of the incumbent President, some people had said that in 2002 he had argued for better succeed him. It may, indeed, wonder why ATT has invested so much for his opponent in 2002 to succeed the challenge of the presidency of the UEMOA? For the image of Mali, of course, but perhaps also to assure him a nice introduction to the subject during the electoral contests of 2012.
