00:00I think there are two specific problems. One is the MOU itself, whose language was pretty imprecise.
00:07There was a lot of ambiguities throughout the very brief documents, a page and a half, only 14 articles, but
00:16nevertheless, it was not very precise.
00:21And therefore, it ended up being more a memorandum of misunderstanding than bringing both sides to agree and see things
00:30from the same perspective.
00:34And second problem is that when these differences in interpretation emerged, the parties, instead of returning to the negotiating table
00:41and trying to basically get on the same page, decided to use force to enforce their own interpretations.
00:49And this is quite tragic because it took about two months to negotiate this memorandum of understanding, but it only
00:56took about three weeks for it to fall apart.
