Côte d’Ivoire: SET PRESIDENT GBAGBO AND HIS ENTOURAGE FREE

Le 26 septembre 2011 par IvoireBusiness - PRESIDENT GBAGBO IS A PhD. IN HISTORY FROM SORBONE PARIS. HIS WIFE SIMONE GBAGBO IS A PhD IN LINGUISTICS. DURING THEIR 30 YEARS IN

POLITICS, THEY HAVE NEVER ATTEMPTED TO GAIN IN POWER BY WAY OF COUP D’ETAT. TO THE CONTRARY, THEY ARE THE FOUNDERS AND MOST FIERCE ADVOCATES OF FREE SPEECH, SOCIAL EQUITY AND DEMOCRACY MOVEMENTS IN COTE-D’IVOIRE. PRESIDENT LAURENT GBAGBO AND FIRST LADY SIMONE GBAGBO ARE GENUINE INTELLECTUALS WHO STRIVED FOR THE FREEDOM OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE THROUGH THE INSTAURATION OF STRONG DEMOCRACY. AND JUST AS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS AN INTELLECTUAL EXERCISE WHICH REQUIRES AN INTELLECTUAL APPROACH THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. ONE DOES NOT USES BOMBS AND LIES TO FALSELY ARREST AN IMCUMBENT PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO PUT ANOTHER CANDIDAT IN POWER FRAUDULENTLY. RELEASE PRESIDENT GBAGBO, HIS FAMILY MEMBERS AND HIS COLLABORATORS AND RELEASE THEM NOW!
THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS SCHEME WHILE MILLIONS OTHERS WENT INTO EXILE. THIS IS A BAD DECISION BY THE UNITED NATIONS AND BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BECAUSE GOD WILL STRIKE. MRS HILARY CLINTON ONCE SAID THAT: “….THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF DEFINING AND STRUCTURING AND INSTITUTIONALIZING A DEMOCRACY, AND IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THE NEED TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM BUT THE HUMILITY TO RECOGNIZE THAT DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, DIFFERENT CULTURES, DIFFERENT HISTORIES. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE VERY CLEAR, DEMOCRACY IS NOT JUST ELECTIONS.” SO IF THE WORLD LEADERS ARE TRULY CONCIOUS OF THE PLURALITY OF DEMOCRACY AND THE NEED TO SOLVE CONFLICTS PEACFULLY, WHY DID THEY BOMBARD PRESIDENT LAURENT GBAGBO’S RESIDENCE AND ARRESTED HIM AND THE MEMBERS OF HIS ENTOURAGE TO FORCIBLY INSTALL SOMEONE WHO DID NOT WIN THE ELECTIONS IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT HIS?

THE CONTEXT OF THE PHRASE: “DEMOCRACY IS NOT JUST ELECTIONS” ALSO IMPLIES THAT THE PRESERVATION OF HUMAN LIFE MUST BE A PRIORITY IN ALL CONFLICTS RESOLUTION PROCESSES. IN COTE-D’IVOIRE, PRESIDENT LAURENT GBAGBO WAS LEGITIMATELY ASKING FOR THE RECOUNT OF THE VOTES JUST AS AL GORE DID IN 2000 DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AGAINST GEORGE BUSH. AND IT WAS WHILE WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS OF THE RECOUNT THAT THE US BACKED FRENCH LED-UNITED NATIONS COALITION WENT ON TO BOMBARD PRESIDENT GBAGBO’S RESIDENCE. THIS WAS A BAD DECISION AND THE US, FRANCE AND THE UN MUST MAKE AMEND OR ELSE GOD’S DESTRUCTION WILL COME WITH ITS OUTCOMES. THE PEOPLE OF COTE-D’IVOIRE DO NOT NEED THESE BOMBING CRAP. RELEASE PRESIDENT LAURENT GBAGBO, HIS WIFE SIMONE GBAGBO AND THE MEMBERS OF THEIR ENTOURAGE AND LET US GO TO NEW ELECTIONS IN COTE-D’IVOIRE BY DECEMBER 2012.
