UDC Statement On Attacks On The Umbrella And Its Leadership

The trend has taken the form of sustained attacks on the UDC in general, and its leadership in particular, by individuals who only a few months were colleagues in the UDC project.

After being approached by the same group to help resolve the problems in their party, and having put forth a set of resolutions that would have placed the BMD on a path to finding a lasting political solution to its internal problems, we are naturally disappointed that the same people chose to dump the process and bolt from their party to found a new formation. While we are left wondering if they were genuine in approaching the BMD to intervene, we do not wish to be drawn into trading accusations with them.
