POLITICS: THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DOUBLE STANDARD GAME

Le 10 juillet 2012 par IVOIREBUSINESS - The European Cup of Nations festivities have gone. Spain has retained the trophy for four more years; it is good to boost the mood in a country where the Euro Zone Crisis has devastated many livelihoods. It is also

good for the history books. Poland and Ukraine have a huge job to do with the infrastructures and the debts they incurred by organising the competition in this period of dire economic situation. One particular thing tried to blacken the football rendezvous that has seen many gamblers loosing their money. This thing is called “politics”. Many fans who believe that football is a game must wake up. The world most popular game has become an agora of the dirty hold game called politics and the last competition in Ukraine and Poland has confirmed that. Her Majesty Government refused to send any officials to the games because one of the hosts, Ukraine “does not respect the human rights of the country former Premier”, Mrs Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko. And yet the same government that boycotted the best and biggest European football event is ready to receive Mr Dramane Ouatara, the black Hitler forced onto the Ivorians, to be a guest at the Olympics. This tyrant will also give a lecture at the famous British thinking tank: Chatham House.

The questions are and will always be as follows: “are Africans human beings too?” or “do the human rights change their colours and meaning according to the people before us?” If Her Majesty’s Government is keen on spreading and defending “human rights” around the globe, why is it receiving on its sole a man whose murders are damaging a country once called the “the west African economic Engine”? By giving receiving this black Hitler, one message that the world would have in mind could be summed as follows: Mrs Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko’s rights are more important than the rights of thousands displaced, raped and murdered Ivorians by Mr. Dramane. Another conclusion would be that Her Majesty’s government is racist. Fore, Mrs Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko is European; her rights are more valuable than the Africans just mentioned above. Otherwise, what kind of proof does Her Majesty’s Government need to know before refusing such a visit which a huge insult to the dead people and the raped Ivorian women? The Duékoué Massacre, the Abidjan Massacre and so on are well documented to be ignored by a country such as Great Britain. Why Africans have to fight million time more than the rest of the world before getting recognition? Yes, we do know that “countries have no friends, they just protect and defend their interests”, de Gaulle, but we do believe that no human being should be immolated for such interests.
This intervention is to show how sickening, inhumane, frustrating and degrading the invitation from Her Majesty’s Government to one of the cruelest person on the planet not only to give a lecture, but to be part of an organization, the Olympics that is supposed to spread peace, friendship, the respect of human rights across of the world.
Does the weak, the poor, the African have a special law to protect him? In fact, is Africa a part of the World Old and New Order? Where is the justice defended by the United Nations and its different specialized branches are meant to protect?

Black Hitler, Dramane and his victims in Duékoué.

Would just one day catch up with the torturer Dramane Ouatara who is keeping hundreds of innocent Ivorians in his gulags without judgement or following some fabricated documents? The future will tell. But, for the time being, our concern is the breach of trust many Africans in general and millions of Ivorians in particular have placed in Britain as a country that cares about the wellbeing of our race, the human race without the distinction of our religion, the colour of our skin, our sex and our sexuality. Mr Dramane, the black Hitler will be in London from the 23rd of July 2012.
