fun with banky and francois
Let us speak of the Ivory Coast...
***
1. An election in Cote D'Ivoire took place some months ago. The Christian President Laurent Gbagbo accused his rival the Muslim leader Allisane Outtara of rigging the results.
2. The election results as recognised by United Nations observers based in Cote D'Ivoire deemed the Muslim leader Mr Ouattara the winner.
3. Mr Gbagbo and his supporters claimed the vote had been rigged.
4. The United Nations admitted some inconsistencies in the vote but insisted the result must stand.
5. United Nations staffers in the past have had a certain weakness for certifying dubious election results. The most salient and indeed grievous example of this up to now was when Angola's Marxian civil war leader Jose Eduardo Dos Santos held onto power after the United Nations certified his rigged election victory in 1992 and turned a blind eye as he once more turned the army loose on his rivals. Similar events occurred in rigged elections in Uganda, also certified by United Nations observers.
6. The implication is that United Nations staffers on the ground consider it a success to certify an election and a failure if they have to overturn one. We must also speculate that in some cases many of these same United Nations staffers may be more culpably involved in actual election rigging, for example in elections where there is a Muslim candidate and the United Nations observers are either Muslim or leftist, which in fact all of them are.
7. In Cote D'Ivoire Mr Gbagbo said he would accept an internationally supervised investigation of the election.
8. His rival the northern based Muslim Mr Ouattara, who has virtually no support outside of the northern region, said he would tolerate no investigation or recount.
9. The United Nations observers in Cote D'Ivoire at the behest of the French and unnamed Muslim nations also refused to sanction any investigation or recount of the rigged election results.
10 The United Nations backed the regional Muslim leader Mr Ouattara and endorsed him as the new President of Cote D'Ivoire.
11. The Supreme Court of Cote D'Ivoire supported the claim of Mr Gbagbo and appointed him President in a formal swearing in ceremony.
12. The army of Cote D'Ivoire formally endorsed and recognised Mr Gbagbo as President.
13. The Sky News description of Muslim leader Mr Outtara's supporters as "Forces loyal to President Ouattara," incorrectly implied that Mr Ouattara had the army on his side. His armed supporters are preponderantly composed of Islamist militias drawn from the northern tribes of his own region.
14. The Muslim leader Mr Ouattara's Islamist militias could not have conquered the south of the country without the provision of heavy weapons. These weapons came from the Islamic Republic of Iran which has been shipping high value military hardware to West Africa for several years with a view to facilitating a Muslim takeover in both Nigeria and Cote D'Ivoire.
15. The Muslim leader Mr Ouattara would still have been unable to conquer the southern part of Cote D'Ivoire, as he has no support outside his northern base, without additional heavy weapons and air support from the United Nations forces and French army units.
16. Both the United Nations and the French have committed ground forces to installing a Muslim President in Cote D'Ivoire while explicity failing at precisely the same time to allow any ground force action in aid of the perfectly justified rebellion by Muslims in Libya against the genuine mass murdering world threatening terrorist dictatorship run by Muammur Gadaffy and his family. The irony is screaming. As are the rebels in Libya. Gadaffi's army is progressively attriting them to nothing before our eyes.
17. The United Nations moved to take action against President Gbagbo and his supporters surreptitiously without any public or Security Council debate on the matter. This action was taken under the direct instructions of the same low level United Nations staffers in Cote D'Ivoire who wished to see the flawed election which they had supervised upheld. It was taken as I've stated using forces already in place in Cote D'Ivoire in the supposed role of neutral peace keepers. The legal justification for the action, if such there is, has been construed from old United Nations Security Council resolutions.
18. The advance of Muslim leader Mr Ouattara's Islamist militias from the north of Cote D'Ivoire into the south took place to the backdrop of massacres by those same militias in Christian villages through which they passed.
19. The United Nations and the French turned a blind eye to massacres by Muslim leader Mr Ouattara, with the usual low level staffers claiming to Sky News: "There have been massacres on both sides."
20. Yesterday French special forces commandos deposed President Gbagbo and installed Muslim leader Alisane Ouattara as President of Cote D'Ivoire.
21. Now that's what I call tragedy.
