Gbagbo WANTS STRONG BY THE VIOLENCE: THE PEOPLE MUST UNITE TO DEFEND

Posted Thursday, December 16, 2010 by achiepo


Laurent Gbagbo has lost the presidential election on November 28, 2010, but he stubbornly refuses to bow to popular will. The tension is rising a notch since the people who want to see its implementation will rightly impatient. The beneficiaries of the popular vote are preparing to take their responsibilities to exercise their full power. They just appeal to those who brought them in power to enable them to take possession of the attributes of state power, including public television and the seat of government from Thursday, December 16, 2010.

It is hoped that after more than two weeks of reflection since 28 November, Gbagbo's camp has returned to their senses to accept the popular will as expressed at the polls. So the passing of the torch between the two sides will be without violent confrontation. The supporters of Alassane Ouattara will quietly celebrate their victory and celebrate unfettered. This assumption is of course of great optimism and rest of the field desirable.

Otherwise, the confrontations will be inevitable. The armed forces face off   and the shock of these clashes could be felt in the depths of the people. In this case, every effort should be made to avoid the various components of the Ivorian people to go to war, killing each other. Amplification of clashes can only come from supporters of the most bellicose, usually Laurent Gbagbo militia. To reduce the risk of occurrence of such a scenario, it is important that certain precautions are taken. The best precaution is to train in neighborhoods a united front against those who would impose Gbagbo Laurent, following the path of violence despite the widely expressed popular will against him . In general, people know the trends of each other's neighborhoods. He must then know how things in perspective. Gbagbo is certainly a bad loser, but this is not a reason to take to task those who only vote for him even if they continue to hold a speech saying he is "Ace" presidential election. It should also be avoided at all costs a war between nationalities or between religions. The political debate arguments against arguments is rather positive. The front must be formed to counter against the violent elements. We must identify them, keep an eye on, keep them out of action and adventure resist fiercely if they were threatening.

Proponents of legitimacy are numerous enough at present to face the elements with fascist practices, elements who still believe unreasonable to impose Gbagbo that the Ivorian people just punishment. The experiments that have already proven to make difficult to penetrate the neighborhoods and keep them away from abusers of all stripes should be used and improved.

Results of the presidential election in the Ivory Coast: Respect the popular will, No to reactionary civil war!

Abidjan, December 6, 2010


After ten years of a social-political crisis that has led to the pauperization of the popular masses, and five years of equivocation, the presidential election in the Ivory Coast has finally been held. According to official figures, participation has been heavy (83% in the first round and about 81% in the second). The results made public by the Independent Electoral Commission and confirmed by the UN delegation in the Ivory Coast gave 54.1% of the votes to Alassane Ouattara and 45.9% to Laurent Gbabgo. However, the Constitutional Council has unjustly declared the elections in 7 regions void and declared Gbabgo the winner. According to our observations, Alassane Ouattara had the support of the voters. The arguments given for the “presidential majority” supporting Laurent Gbabgo and rejecting the results do not hold weight. The Constitutional Council has not been a judge in the elections, but a supporter of Gbabgo. We will soon speak about the disagreements of the protagonists with regard to the results.

The electoral struggle for the presidency has ended with the logically declared victory of Alassane Ouattara. But the rejection of the results of the ballots by Laurent Gbabgo has led to two presidents of the republic being “invested” and two governments. The threat of confrontations up to the unleashing of a civil war is real.

The Revolutionary Communist Party of the Ivory Coast (PCRCI) is convinced that a civil war would be disastrous since it would only aggravate the situation of the popular masses and of the whole country, and strengthen imperialist domination. It is of the greatest importance that everything be done so that the popular will is accepted by all the protagonists. For our part the PCRCI will make every effort to avoid a reactionary civil war that is on the horizon. All actions that attempt to divide the people of the Ivory Coast, to incite them to tribal and racial hatred and xenophobia must be fought and rejected.

At this time the most important and most urgent thing is to do everything to make everyone understand the need to respect the will of the majority shown in the ballot of last November 28 and thus avoid a reactionary civil war.

Therefore, the PCRCI calls on the peoples of the Ivory Coast to say No to fraud, No to reactionary civil war and adventure. We call on the peoples to form committees of struggle against fraud and against the incitation to reactionary civil war. Let us take the road to a better future, that of developing the revolution, which will reconcile Ivoirians with each other.
