In 2001, I was a member of an international delegation supervised by the "UN" and composed of five parliamentarians from all countries, established in the wake of the arrival in power of Mr Gbagbo in October 2000 .
The delegation's mission was to take stock of the situation by meeting with stakeholders from politics, labor, diplomatic, religious groups and others to President Gbagbo himself.
Probably because of media coverage locally and internationally, it is with a bias to President Gbagbo arrived in Côte d'Ivoire.
The meeting with President Gbagbo was decisive for me. Him, all identified as being responsible for all the problems of his country, seemed like a good man who answered the questions honestly, even more insidious, a humanist, who wants the good of his people - and that All Africa-and who wants above all to restore peace and national reconciliation.
But during a meeting with a delegation of twenty ambassadors that the hypothesis of a plot came to me ... In fact, I saw and heard the members of this gathering denigrate or demonize the President of the Republic, elected democratically, by treating it as an undesirable, a troublemaker, he must get rid because he refuses to bow ... and behave like saying the Africans, "Chief of doormat."
Also, this officer of the Embassy of the Netherlands who whispered in his ear: "Know Gentleman in a year by Gbagbo will not be there! . This was in 2001, and no presidential election is expected before 2005! About 18 months later, September 19, 2002, occurred a military coup .... ! Quickly driven out of Abidjan, the rebels retreated into force in the north they will take over ... It will be the score!
But why all this acrimony against Gbagbo? Because the West did that for another presidential candidate, faithful servant of Western interests, both as an ex - Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire, imposed by Paris as that of former senior leader of the "IMF".
This man, Alassane Ouattara. Boasting a large personal fortune, he is known in financial circles, political and media from Europe and America.
Close, and apparently it sponsor, rebels, Ouattara can count on since 2002 in support of Presidents Chirac and Sarkozy He speaks of his "friend Ouattara, who will do anything to bring the" UN "to legalize the presence of the rebels off-the-law, even to ennoble them in 2004 as" New Forces (FN ) ".
Never, despite several agreements to this end, the rebels have agreed to surrender and they never have been forced, nor France, nor by the "UN".
Despite this background, Gbagbo is forced, in 2010, marked the presidential election in the North, many malpractices and violence, which were recognized by the representative of the "UN" Côte d'Ivoire, without ever "international community" would be tempted to light and the truth.
Small example: in the north, in about 2200 polling stations, the number of voters exceeds the number of registered voters ... and in many cases no vote in favor of Gbagbo is recorded, not even those of his two representatives ... !
Tensions resulting from this post-election context, where both candidates say they are presidents, may degenerate into a terrible bloodbath. To try to remedy this situation, the "African Union (AU)" has recently decided to establish a "panel" consisting of the heads of state from five African countries.
Hopefully this new mission will succeed in knowing the truth about events that occurred before, during and after the presidential elections.
