gravediggers IVORY COAST
countries often feel the need to invite others to join them in the electoral process. To observe, validate if necessary, and sometimes even decide when such provision is expressly agreed between the parties in contention. Now then in living memory no people, unless they can be compelled, has agreed to cede its sovereignty to the extent of allowing such third-party residing in foreign-to replace the institutions enshrined in its Basic Law. It is the Constitution, and it alone, which produces the right. And not a supra-international authority, any credit that he knew. In the election the last word in case of litigation, the Supreme Court or, in the case of Côte d'Ivoire to the Constitutional Court . The decision of this body is final and without appeal if even he was deceived. Dura lex sed lex , Act is hard but it's the law ! It
all these subtleties, yet within reach of any aspiring diplomat, the UN representative in Côte d'Ivoire has apparently never understood. Three things: the Mr. Youn-jin Choi was completely overtaken by events in the outcome of which he was not prepared, or was he on duty: validate somehow, whatever the cost of victory Alassane Ouattara after all the choice of West, or else did he feel, in good faith "with a mission" humanitarian-messianic, namely saving the poor Ivorian people by putting de facto UN trusteeship "the country's institutions.
Actually no, if only by compassion, wants to committing Ban Ki-Moon allowing himself to drift away in such a neo-colonialist. But his eagerness, and the international media with him to certify the results of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), which had yet to cancel the Constitutional Court, is perplexing. It is a Youn-jin Choi clearly embittered we saw her claim with aplomb immovable acquired status by divine right: I was Certifier, I remain certifier !
A surprising zeal that borders on the profession of faith, otherwise only the naive
... Let us recall only: In 2000 the Supreme Court is the United States which ruled in favor of the candidate George W. Bush face Al Gore in a disputed presidential election. No foreign body not publicly objected to all this, very low, disagreed. In this country we also know that it had greatly weakened the institution of the International Criminal Tribunal (TPI) by refusing to endorse it, on the grounds that no foreign court is qualified to judge American citizens. This does not prevent them from being "disappointed" that African countries do not execute the judgments of that court, specifically regarding the arrest warrant for the Sudanese Omar El-Bashir by a court which they challenge themselves.
But the United States are not a paradox ...
But then what about the European Union and their media were hastily rushed into the breach opened by Youn-jin Choi as if one and the other only waiting for this: the "green light" from UN in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI). A diligent stance that can only lead to suspicion. And who threw the Ivorian people in confusion.
This kind of interference, which says its name, was the cause of the radicalization of many countries.
For comparison, at the same time in neighboring Guinea-Conakry, the protagonists of the presidential election have patiently waited for the Supreme Arbitration Court, which heard the complaints and recriminations from both candidates and rallied to his verdict!
If this court affirmed the results of the CIS Guinea is also she had the power to overturn . Yet the logic that falls under the senses, but not all, of course.
Do what I tell you to do
... ... But do especially not what I do . This seems to be the leitmotif of the international community to the place of Abidjan. In France, a country that is today a megaphone (or door-gun) to the division of Laurent Gbagbo, as well as judges of the Supreme Court that the President of the Constitutional Court are appointed by the Chief the state. Another fact: outside of France who is surprised that Nicolas Sarkozy will be assumed the right to appoint the president of France Televisions ?
In Canada the Prime Minister shall appoint both judges, senators and even the Governor-General . This figure, which represents the British monarchy in Canada, there is ex officio the head of state and army ...
Many other democratic country every known sacrifice to the same trial as to the appointment of judges and senior leaders public bodies without this is subject to debate on the international stage. Because it is a common and banal. Only those who believe today's win at demonizing display their virtue injured in a hypocritical indignation worthy of great tragedians. Otherwise where is it that this power is reserved for some but not others ? One can legitimately ask whether the international community would be so kicking and screaming if he had acted in Guinea-Bissau, Vietnam, Costa Rica and Rwanda ... But
Côte d'Ivoire, for his misfortune, is "a country of" Africa and the world. The opportunity will arise perhaps not soon be installed at its head someone was a high-Ouattara Framework International Monetary Fund (IMF) - which is accustomed to obey the instructions of West. Conversely Gbagbo is seen by all as a "troublemaker subjecting round. But already
suspicion point even in the ranks of supporters of Ouattara. In a burst of patriotic rest some of them are questioning the independence enjoyed by a president who would just West. Hints of submission, compromise and collusion inexorably begin each day on which the foundation tries to raise the stature of their candidate. Playing the appropriate map of the international community against the institutions of his own country Ouattara revives old demons "Ivority" that once stood before him his current ally Henry Konan Bedie . It was he who, in raising doubts Ivorian nationality, disqualified him from participating in a presidential election. Laurent Gbagbo until refermât this Pandora's box allowing Ouattara to finally be controversial presidential candidate that seems to hold the world spellbound.
The gravediggers of Côte d'Ivoire
Today it has become an open secret that Alassane Ouattara was not a stranger to the civil war who spent a decade in the partition of Côte d'Ivoire two entities whose traces are still alive. In the minds and on the geographical reality. Since it does not hide it really more tirelessly to raise the specter of rebellion if he does not succeed, it is feared he does not hesitate to start again armed struggle. He wished to know at half-words, without saying it evokes the tragic precedent that plunged the country into despair. He wishes to reap the benefits that are linked to the war. It presents the Ivorians
choice between him and chaos. But this time Ouattara has endorsed, and perhaps already logistical support from the international community to do so.
One can easily imagine the gravediggers of the Ivory Coast finally enjoying their revenge on Gbagbo; triumphant without qualms and without danger especially at odds of suffering that only Ivorians apprehensive. They think they have demonstrated sufficient if not with contempt that the institutions "pseudo-democratic" African countries must remain subordinate to the will of the international community. One way to give the flavor of the day the anecdotal inability of African populations obscurantist take charge. Even as a new generation of leaders of the continent, including Laurent Gbagbo, applies to determinism forget this caricature. With the risk that those that it bothers them to fall on arms cuts. But is the price to pay, otherwise he must still kowtow
... The most disturbing about this saga is that Alassane Ouattara acquiesces to the idea that the institutions of his country should be regarded as obsolete since 'they do not provide him with the power promised by authorities ... more choices. History, alas, will be accountable for this position, suspect casually vis-à-vis a people whose claims to overly-reminiscent of allegiance some African leaders at their colon "granted" independence.
Côte d'Ivoire today do not deserve this insult. Africa rejects this sham.
