Several organizations of the civil society and leaders of the committee of IDP camps have announced their intention to organize a sit-in outside the new headquarters of interim Prime Minister's Office to the Bicentennial, next Friday.

Reyneld Simon, an executive of one of these organizations, has to specify that this sit-in aimed to "put pressure on the government so that each family moved to gain access to a home [...] the government has as an obligation to guarantee a decent housing with each citizen", he said.

Note however that this interpretation not absolve the responsibilities of the State].
