"POLITICS IN THE IVORY COAST":"TOWARD CHASING POWER"?

Le 27 juillet 2012 par IVOIREBUSINESS - Ivorian Head of state "ALASSANE OUATTARA's spell over the international community, namely "FRANCE" where he's got closest friends and an important

international network like the current french foreign secretary "LAURENT FABIUS", continues to hold long after his regime popularity at home (THE IVORY COAST), has begun to erode long time ago! Furthermore, the recent slaughter of more than 200 native country people (guéré- people in the city of "DUEKOUE" in the west of the country ), appears to be a clear ethnic cleansing in that ivorian region , when his so called popularity has begun to erode. As a result, in the streets of "ABIDJAN", and in the west of the country, the majority of the ivorian natives registered their disapproval of the "ALLASSANE OUATTARA" administration! But basically, "ALLASSANE OUATTRA" and his regime have certainly discovered that they could rely on the international community to bail them out, when it seemed that many ivorian natives wanted to throw them out, when having clear protests around the world by these times... Unfortunately, "Alassane Ouattara" turned out to be not that much different from many of the worst of the current ivorian politicians, using high office to enrich himself, by buying six months ago, a private jet and stealing political power to some extent! In the same trend, his wife keeps on using her non profit organization for orphans and needy children around the world: As a result, she sent letters around the world through her personal international network, also telephoned businessmen and international companies, soliciting donations, collecting several several thousand Euros and Dollars. As far as our credible sources are concerned, those worthy donations (checks and cash money) went partly toward her noble cause, but the majority into her pocket, a presidential of the time recalled. Meanwhile , "ALLASSANE OUATTARA"'s main allies who brought him diplomatically to power, became increasingly aware of the rampant corruption within the regime: due to a higher scale of insecurity , tribalism and nepotism: but right now, "FRANCE" remains silent diplomatically, because "ALLASSANE OUATTARA" has got a network of fench closest friends in the french regime such as: "Laurent Fabius"(french foreign secretary), who seems to back him up behind closed doors... But the controversy still goes on in this so called no man's land (the IVORY COAST), where "Jhonny too bad" still remains the only wicked sherif in the west of the country! Today, the city of "ABIDJAN"(economic capital city of the "IVORY COAST") seems to have the air of a modern-day symbolized spiritually by "Sodom" and "Gomorrah": pervasive political corruption, nepotism, tribalism and backward oligarchy. Down the line, it did seem, at least on the surface, that the "IVORY COAST" needed some strong governmental action to restore order, security and discipline. Many objective observers certainly thought so right now...
