Content_paragraphs:  While I am encouraged by preparations for a republican dialogue, such a process
  
  can succeed only if it is genuinely inclusive and allows legitimate grievances to be
  
  heard and acted upon. It is critical that all stakeholders are given a voice, including
  
  armed groups that have renounced violence, the opposition, civil society, women,
  
  youth and religious leaders from all over the country. I encourage political actors to
  
  continuously engage and build trust. All armed groups should immediately cease
  
  violence, with a view to participating constructively in the peace process.
