On October 12, the Secretary General of the International Organization of the Francophonie (OIF) will be elected by fifty-four heads of state or government of the member countries of the institution together, in Yerevan, Armenia. They have the choice between Micha\u00eblle Jean and Rwandan Louise Mushikiwabo. <\/p>\n
Mushikiwabo and Jean yesterday met at a dinner hosted by Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan. A picture of them together was posted on the twitter account entirely designed to support Mushikiwabo’s campaign for La Francophonie.<\/p>\n
Mushikiwabo has recently been on a campaign trail across various OIF member countries, most of
\nwhich support her candidacy. Most of all, she had behind the support of the African Union and the trust of several states. Among her ideals, she seeks to prioritize peace, security and promotion of the youth among others.<\/p>\n
Canada and Haiti are the only states which openly admitted to support Micha\u00eblle Jean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
