Content_paragraphs:  The Central African Republic is at a critical juncture that will determine if peace 
  
  and stability will be restored and put on a firmer footing. Only a political solution 
  
  will achieve sustainable peace and development, and only the Central African leaders 
  
  and people can determine and follow that path. It is critical to advance efforts  to end 
  
  the current crisis though broad and inclusive dialogue involving the voices of women, 
  
  youth and religious leaders, as well as confidence-building initiatives, including 
  
  accountability for perpetrators of violence, their supporters and enablers. I e ncourage 
  
  all Central Africans to take the path of reconciliation and justice rather than revenge. 
  
  Achieving and sustaining peace will require inclusive national efforts to broaden 
  
  political space, continue institutional reforms and develop a shared nationa l identity 
  
  that fully embraces the rich diversity of the population. I call on President Touadéra 
  
  to consolidate his legacy by prioritizing leading and consolidating national 
  
  reconciliation and dialogue efforts in his second term.
