Period marked by strong economic development and the emergence of the concept "ivoirité" . We also see the principal protaganistes emerge on the political current. Today you will find a summary of the events of the last decade that began with a military dictatorship, leading to the current situation. You can see the rise of Laurent Gbagbo, which led him to deny Ouattara and always persistent latent concept "ivoirité" which literally poisoned political life and life itself in this country.
Suite.
Act IV - The election Laurent Gbagbo.
In October of that year, the vote count reveals that General Guei, head of the military junta, came in second place behind Laurent Gbagbo. Despite the results, he proclaimed himself president and tries to maintain power by force. The hostility and determination to push the population into the streets. It is quickly joined by the Ivorian police. Following protests, the Election Commission then declared Gbagbo the winner of the presidential election. In the parliamentary elections after the party Gbagbo won 96 seats out of 223 but less than the 98 IBD Henri Konan Bedie. The party da Ouattara, the RDR boycotted the election, still gets 4 MPs.
In 2002, several attempts to "coup" taking place in three cities including Abidjan (economic capital) and Bouaké (economic hub of central China). Assassination attempts took place against Alassane Ouattara and against the defense minister. The interior minister and his bodyguards are killed. "Rebels" as challenging the power of Laurent Gbagbo, then President Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, the concept of Ivorian. They consist mainly of former military expelled from the army under the military junta under the concept of "ivoirité.
are distinguished in particular among the rebel leaders, a certain Guillaume Soro who was running mate to the 2000 parliamentary Ms. Henriette Diabate, secretary general of the RDR, the party of Ouattara.
Act V - The French intervention and the Marcoussis agreements.
France, first reticent, finally resolved to intervene more to protect its nationals and their economic interests to implement the defense agreement signed with the government of Ivory Coast. However, applying this agreement, the French military halt the advancing rebels and the saving power of Laurent Gbagbo.
However, France considers that some of the rebels' demands are in order including the Ivorian and the injustices that this concept entails.
For Laurent Gbagbo, the rebels are former soldiers just want to destabilize it with the support of Burkina Faso.
To defuse the situation talks are held in France in Marcoussis. They lead to agreements which provide for:
- maintaining Laurent Gbagbo to power until the next elections;
- a government of national unity;
- implementation an interposition force.
Just signed agreements are denounced by Laurent Gbagbo, who states that he has forced his hand. Riots French anti-burst to support it.
A year later, in 2004, the Security Council of the UN decides to send a peacekeeping force. However, transactions between forces loyal to President Gbagbo and the rebels do not stop.
France, caught between two fires, is accused by Gbagbo and the rebels to protect not to respect the defense agreement signed with the Ivorian government but also to prevent the rebels enjoy their military advantage and to Abidjan, the capital the country.
Further negotiations are undertaken and an agreement signed but things hang.
Hoping to break the deadlock, Laurent Gbagbo sent warplanes to bomb the rebels in the west and French soldiers in Bouake. Officially, the bombing against the French troops is a mistake, but it appears quickly that it is voluntary and was ordained at the top of the Ivorian government by Laurent Gbagbo. Immediately, Jacques Chirac ordered a response. The selected option is then the destruction of some aircraft component "The Air Force" Ivorian to limit casualties.
In response, anti-French riots leave more beautiful and result in massive looting and targeted organized by the supporting Gbagbo youth movement against the French and West. Many French and foreign nationals were evacuated by helicopter from the French army whose military base in Abidjan was besieged by young supporters of Laurent Gbagbo. The French military fired into the crowd reaction causing several deaths and numerous injuries.
Act VI - Out of crisis.
In 2005, the peace process is once again restarted. It ends in 2007 with the Ouagadougou agreement, which provides:
- the appointment of a transitional government;
- the abolition of the so-called confidence zone between loyalists and rebels.
Following this, a reform of the electoral rolls allows the inclusion of three million new voters due to an attenuation of the principle of Ivorian.
Act VII - Bis repetita.
end of 2010, after several postponements, presidential elections are held. On the evening of the 1st round, Laurent Gbagbo leads with 38% of the votes, followed closely by Alassane Ouattara with 32% and Bédié with 25% of the vote. All three are old local political actors in the country.
No candidate was able to gather a majority of votes, a runoff is held. An agreement has apparently happened between Ouattara and Bedie, former political adversaries, and leads to a postponement of the vote as well late November, Ouattara is declared winner after repeatedly postponing the announcement of results by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
The results of the CIS, it would win the election with 54.1% of the vote against 45.9% for the incumbent. Immediately, supporters of Laurent Gbagbo challenge these results. A few days after the announcement of results by the IEC, the Ivorian Constitutional Council, chaired by a relative of Laurent Gbagbo, announces the contrary, the election of Laurent Gbagbo with 51% of the vote after the invalidation of the ballot in several polling stations in the north.
Laurent Gbagbo then lends oath with great fanfare, followed shortly by President-elect Ouattara who has the support of the international community. Gbagbo increasingly isolated nonetheless continues to cling to power.
