COTE D'IVOIRE
BAROUD THE HONOR OF LAWRENCE Gbagbo
Nothing new under the relentless sun of Abidjan ! Democracy flourishes there yet in terms of some acerbic. But the dictatorship, she was right back in the capitals around it. Alas for the "old Europe" whose eyesight and his too frequent moments of amnesia. Or so we can not do without, in the Ivorian crisis, to call history, even if for some reading they refuse stubbornly. The previous least-distant beginning of this century is more than enough to build memories that resent the carbon-14 dating - can be referents. Even if only to understand, without explanation. By honesty. We can see that the fabric of history immediate, here and elsewhere, is studded with sequences that produce instability , And the tranquility of the civilian population has often been troubled. One recalls that these "brackets" at all times, are usually healed quickly and soon forgotten. But one should know that "troublemakers" are not always those that we believe, far from it. The sources of nuisance in Côte d'Ivoire through the streets and have different hats. Those politicians too ambitious. And those "peacekeepers", those poor buggers mandated to implement on the ground, risking their lives, the wishes of France on his pre-square ... In other words, the international community, when it feels really forced, came to challenge the legitimacy of some politicians. But never all, not the same, not for the same reasons and in different situations. Here are some of these conditions: a climate that fosters stigma (if there are any), interest occult implemented (the best business partner in some cases, or something else), otherwise a very trivial sense, the only visceral hatred against a man who represents a break with the status quo in relations that Côte d'Ivoire has with other countries. All these facts combined have probably played against Laurent Gbagbo that it is presented by Western media as the worst dangerously unanimous villain the world has ever known!
It also says to preserve the memories flanchent-a look at the news. Diametrically opposed to Africa, The Belarus. What is happening now is quite unfortunate for the theses of "false vigilantes" of the international community, these so-called Vindicators steeped in bias, those who intend to crack down on them without being able-or willing-to enforce the same justice more ...
Belarus So. In this small country of Europe East, almost all of the candidates in the presidential election just ended are incarcerated after they challenged the validity of the poll. Prosecuted for "disturbing public order in bulk, these individuals could face up to fifteen years in prison and a ban on their political parties. President Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko , the "last dictator in Europe" notoriously recognized as such by all, talks about the local laws to justify the fact that he remains the undisputed master of Minsk for sixteen years! It is unclear whether the opposition participated once the erection of this constitution that marginalizes its action today and cancels its claims postscript ... Westerners do not make a big deal since Belarus is under Russian influence, this powerful little country watching himself on human rights at home! While failing to play in this dangerous than the big boys are Putin and Medvedev must be modest return to Africa. Precisely in its sub-Saharan zone the "poor relation" of the community of nations. Dark
directory.
What do we observe? That many executives are addicted to it mock elections without anyone does is upset, very nearly. The Kagame of Rwanda, after post-haste cut a constitution tailored its Stalinist recurrence score (80%). Nothing but death can never rob him now that power which he reward. Especially since the international community sees it as a fragile it is important not to antagonize, a damaged mind, "traumatized by the genocide of the Tutsis". A victim who should be the sensibilities. Too bad for the opposing Hutu Victory Ingabire paying for "Denial" his will Change of leadership at the helm of this country that is more than Tutsi. Since the Hutu did not recognize that more Tutsi in power ... The
Burkina Faso Blaise Compaore, who was not his first presumption, recently illustrated by the same dexterity in the manipulation of the Constitution. It also now prancing freely in percentages that defy common sense and the spirit of democracy. But hey, Blaise Compaore is a "great friend" of France that he forgives all. Additionally it has suddenly become appropriately known as a "mediator" in high demand in the resolution of its conflict subregion. To arise from unavoidable authorized to seize power for eternity. It can now boast a resume or equivalent or better across the continent, that of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter who has the same offices. Compaore now enjoys a respectable tainted with the blood of his friends and enemies.
It might be pointless to dwell on the "altar boys" that are Paul Biya, Robert Mugabe, Teodoro Obiang Nguema, Sassou Nguesso, or even just the dynastic ambitions of Abdoulaye Wade. As the heir to the throne of Gabon Ali Bongo, no one should see in his recent knighthood by Freemasonry a salutary peer support "high priest" of the continent and around the world. Or a member of this occult lodge, following his father's Omar Bongo, has no political advantage. But maybe it does pay again in the story and storytelling. At this point in the collective blindness and denial of common sense there is certainly risk in the comparison if it is claimed that Ben Ali of Tunisia and the rais Hosni Mubarak of Egypt are really not what one might call the Democrats models. But there, in North Africa, their populations could refute this premise. Because they have freedom of speech and also choose freely the durability of their rulers. The Arab League , that thing usually unnecessary to the Arabs, is clearly better than ECOWAS. It must however recognize that for all these ... exceptions, the international community cried, maligned, but lip service, always walking on eggshells because the sovereignty of national laws was discussed. So as a sign of strength there was inaudible to protest, "serious concerns" "calls for restraint and respect for human rights" ... in short, the whole panoply of concise formulas for putting his voice. Ultimately, "after consideration" it has always acted only minor sprains that we could accommodate both people were happy, peccadilloes unrelated to the unspeakable commission Laurent Gbagbo! Now therefore give such an outcry, unprecedented in Africa, and crystallize around him as unanimous condemnation, the man has crossed the red-faced. The world, and since December 2010, will not tolerate this kind of trickery to iron law of the international community. We see now the other African leaders, since it is only themselves devoutly participate in the spoils. Too happy that attention was diverted from their inglorious history swear that he will do them more. They now know who is the master. They betray without shame and repent to receive the prescription! For when the dust settles and the world will ignore the plight of Ivorians it will be time to resume practices of yesteryear. Therefore, be forgotten that boo "the villain Gbagbo." Better still, do remove him from power has advantages in the order of renewal. It is now for these tyrants far more than a leitmotif: a vital goal and almost an end in itself. No Gbagbo, no comparison!
To make an example
was expected after all that Sarkozy urgently wants to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, the nemesis who repeatedly humiliated. The French president, who worked as a butcher in another life, is recognized for its handling of fangs among other bank of torture. He now applies these same methods to Gbagbo that expeditious usually reserve those for whom he feels a visceral hatred. Today to make an example of the President of France got into the spirit of the worst scum of Africa. This does not pour into the mix, much-sorry, no-presidents of the continent deserve the legitimacy of the people received. As for Sarkozy, is an opportunist and probably no one more. Paris behind other world powers, euphemistically called allies fall blindness even as the U.S. or Australia ... well, Gbagbo and Ouattara is ... "black hat and black hat! It is common knowledge Public diplomatic pact that exists between the West to the effect that, in the commission of the perfect crime, the mobile is assumed by all. This is a directive in force since always reinforced after September 11, 2001. It has exchange value in supporting each other. France in particular paid a heavy price for the war effort in Afghanistan. The Americans would lose not remember it, especially since what they required in return is Benin in the light of what the French army agrees in human and material sacrifices for the triumph of the "free world" against " Islamic obscurantism. " All this is understandable and part of Realpolitik. But we still can not see how the interests of the Ivory Coast would be confused with that of Afghanistan. The population of one ignores even the existence of the other. And vice versa. Even the most "ouattara" Ivorians aware, only a few exceptions, ECOWAS and the AU is a haven for off-the-law whose legitimacy was, before the Ivory Coast, challenged by that same international community. The determination and less. Or so these schemes are carried by dictators, notorious criminals, lords war, some thieves against whom a judicial investigation was opened in France-just-for harboring ill-gotten gains! Yet internally any of these potentates never finally been bothered by the entreaties of the West facade. In the northern hemisphere, enamored of ethics, individuals bear such a reputation can not be convened to judge anything was, or even to decide a fight involving children!
To advance in the thinking must go beyond mere man what Gbagbo to remove the springs from a logic that insists to sin by contradiction. Question: The Iranians are so little loved by the world they are always forced to suffer the harsh yoke of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? When will the intervention of "Western armies restoration of democracy" to deliver the Persians from the stranglehold of the mullahs? In contrast, the Ivorians should rejoice that their fate occupied the minds at this point that the world is being considered to inflict death and destruction so that they recovered their saving democracy. It is worse than showing love patronizing contempt. Pass right or impotence against the dictator Tehran, the fact remains that the "year zero" of democracy has been decreed by the "masters of time", the international community, this deus ex machina that protects them despite these "retarded children" as the Africans ...
A press that speaks badly
Fifty years in Africa is already the age of wisdom, the virtue which overlooks the intellect alone. Age canon, since it is Africa. of Jeune Afrique L'Intelligent we had in this case, more intelligence and wisdom. For fifty years of struggles for the benefit of various causes in Africa, the weekly mythical concerns the Ivorian election after the same gaze that found with George W. Bush's weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It measures just today's "collateral damage" that such certification has caused. When it comes to Africa in the international media do not always know what they are talking, like their rulers. That is an excuse which can not rely on the newspaper Bechir Ben Yamed (BBY). There was a time when the herald of the French press mainland rose in arms against all attempts of neo-colonialism. It n'entretenait little while, alas as now, the repulsion to denounce this attack on self-determination of peoples, one of the founding principles of the UN. Not only: no dictatorship could never find favor in his eyes. Point of Maginot line, stop this suspect spatio-temporal "before and after", that has introduced insidiously France in the evaluation of governance in the world. Except to say that "it must start with some" BBY, who dedicated unsubtle Laurent Gbagbo to public obloquy, has yet to explain to his millions of readers that "the crime" unspeakable and it is a horror beyond anything the world has known. Which justifies we do table-not to forget the past history to begin with this "dangerous bully". .... " In this case someone, somewhere, has the honesty to put this new paradigm. So that the case be heard once and for all. And for all. Heavy task, if any. Older readers will remember the Jeune Afrique editor, who has since died, Sennen Andriamirado . Blaise Compaore, who murdered his comrade Thomas Sankara , would perhaps never have become inveterate dictator (that Africa needs curiously, according to this joker of Sarkozy) if the acerbic pen of Sennen did unexpectedly kills. This is surely not that other editor to say what Francis Sudan although it was in bad or good, Denis Sassou Nguesso. For this very human reason that the reporter has taken a wife at home and directs an iron hand the colonel coup. What Women Want ... In true funny this case as in others, the younger generation of journalists Jeune Afrique Marwan Ben-Yamed represents the well-handled feather more bitter than the old guard. It remains that should inform its BBY too many African readers curious about this principle-a-new avatar of 'double standards measures "in that it supports them, but yet he complains vehemently when it is the Middle East ... it says only a word, dear Mr. BBY, and many Africans will discuss this new year 2011 a little more knowing.
BBY Tired? About Her suggests. Until there sweating fatigue disturbing selectivity. After fifty years of "faithful service" for Africa that there could be compromising. Or even somewhat disappointing. Happy New Year's Eve anyway!
