Côte d'Ivoire: 1 MILLION INVESTITURES WILL NOT MAKE ALLASSANE OUATTARA ELIGIBLE

Who says that some politicians even though they are fake and controlled by others are not reliable? Who says that they produce nothing at all? With Allassane Ouattara, his foreign supporters and their puppeteers who are now in small numbers compared to the Ivorian people who all about for real independence and sovereignty of their country by standing squarely behind their legal and legitimate President Laurent Gbagbo, despite being unpopular in Côte d’Ivoire, he still believes to have total control over the country. Figures don’t lie, but liars figure and justify the lies. And this is the case with Allassane Ouattara, his foreign patrons and his clan. Their politic is a house of mirrors which is an immersive, highly distorted, and intentionally confusing version of reality on the ground. And for those people who walk through their corridors of mirrors, they are sometimes amused and at the same time are worrying by their disoriented experience and shortsighted mind in the new African reality, but luckily for them is only temporary. This is why Allassane regime is trying to reign through terror in order to stay in power without any substance.

Allassane Ouattara has not realized that he is totally rejected by the majority of the people in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). On April 25, 2015, the investiture of Allassane Ouattara as the candidate for the presidential election of October 2015 has been a completed failure despite all the brouhaha campaign and more than $ 4 millions wasted for this event. The organizers of this event were expecting to get more than 200,000 to come to the event. But alas, only a roughly 20,000 people showed up despite the suitcases full of banknotes that were circulating in the poor neighborhoods of Abidjan to motivate the militants to attend his so-called investiture. The majority of his “militants” have shunned the event because for many of them, deep in their heart, they know that their “mentor” Allassane Ouattara is an usurper of power. Some people may argue that is not important the number of people who have attended this investiture that matters, but the fact to have this event to choose him as the candidate for their party. If really Allassane Ouattara had a political party worthy of name. Once again the hypocritical RHDP (RDR of Allassane Ouattara, PDCI of Henry Konan Bédié, UPDCI of Mabri Toikeuse, and the others rebel groups) alliance in power thanks to the West has shown their limitation and unpopularity in Côte d’Ivoire.

Despite his illegibility under the Constitution, Allassane Ouattara and his allies have thought to challenge the Ivorian people by organizing this investiture which allows them to choose him as their “candidate” for the upcoming election. We have to remain France-backed agent Allassane Dramane Ouattara who has been wielding his wobbling power like a tyrant that it doesn’t really matter how many investitures he will organize for his candidacy for the presidential election, he will never be legible for the presidential election. Him and his Western backers (French government and armies as well as their local terrorist groups transformed today as the governmental armies) haven’t responded to their weirdest crimes perpetrated on the Ivorian people since 2002 until today. Since 2011, many human right organizations have held Allassane Dramane Ouattara responsible for the killing of several thousands of people in Côte d’Ivoire. These killing include the massacre of more than 1,000 Guéré people in the town of Duékoué in one day, without forgetting many others massacres around the country, arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial killings, and secret renditions- almost targeting the Ivorian people he considers not to be from the northern ethnic groups. Soon or later, Allassane Dramane Ouattara will pay for his crime against humanity.

Allassane Dramane Ouattara can organize one million investitures to officiate his candidacy for the upcoming presidential election, his statute of ineligibility will remain intact under the Article 35 of the Constitution of Côte d’Ivoire. This is the reason he is trying to bypass the Constitution by invoking an obscure “Jurisprudence 48”. The specter of the October 2014 overthrow of Blaise Compaoré, the former President of Burkina Faso is hovering over the head of Allassane Ouattara. The Ivorian people will take legal rights and means to bar him getting an extra term in power. He is an errant politician who must be brought to justice for not only massacring the Ivorian people, but also for illegally occupying the presidential armchair that doesn’t belong to him, but to President Laurent Gbagbo who is currently being held as hostage at ICC’s prison by France because he stood up his ground to defend the interest of his beloved country.
