Delafruita:

I wonder why any right thinking african would applaud the forceful removal from office of a sitting president.a lot of people have been so brainwashed by the foreign press that they donot even realise gbagbo has a legitimate claiom to the presidency.its true the eloctoral commision declared ouattara the winner,but the constituitional council which is empowered by ivorien constituition to look into election results found good reason to nullify some results credited to ouattara and after a recount,declared gbagbo winner.now that is perfectly in order according to ivorien constituition but then monkey-faced ban ki moon begins to talk bladderdash,sarkozy screams blue murder,ecowas disowns gbagbo and the next thing we know,situation critical.the ivorien crisis made me remember bush vs gore in 1999,gore was in the lead up till the florida ballot count was manipulated in favour of bush.gore asked for a recount which there was time for but the supreme court which had four judges who were appointed by the older bush voted against the continuation of the recount.it was clear gore won and even despite the ruling favouring bush,gore still won the popular vote by over 500,000 votes but lost at the electotal college.the UN didnt scream then,chirac stayed mute,in short nothing happened but in this ivoien case,which is very similar to the bush case,they all rushed in to hound him out.why didnt they chase out ahmajinedad in iran,or chavez in venezuela,why have they continually said removing ghadaffi is not on their priority list?because they know it will backfire.but we west africans were quick to brand gbagbo an outcast.this is hypocrisy.we are sending a delegation of african leaders to negotiate with ghadaffi,the OIC is insisting ghadaffi is not to be outsted but when sarkozy's dogs manhandle gbagbo,we applaud.if na naija that kain thing happen,we go gree?

georgem:

change is surely in the air. nigerian leaders should watchout and learn from recent happenings. if youn trully love your country and want to govern it through development and mean well for the citizens, then there shouldnot be any bloodshed even if you think you have been robbed. you need not fight as doing so would plunge the country you s,o claim to love into desolation. rulership should not be a do or die affair

I expect better from guys like you Morpheus, please research the so-called
President elect wife dealing before posting here, Comments based on surface knowledge
is meaningless,

Roforofo:

Some Africans are generally silly and like deceiving themselves. In Nigeria a man like Babangida should be lynched in the streets yet people hail him as a big man. Same goes for Ernest Shonekan, Jeremiah Useni, TY Danjuma, many many ex governors and military men. Instead of facing the evil within foolish Africans blame the White man for all their problems. It is why almost every African nation run by Africans is useless, Sudan, Nigeria, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger, Ivory Coast, etc. Yet the same Africans all desperate to escape and live in the West and they all want to get European and American passports. Nonsense people.

owobokiri:

Reading some of the reponses to this invasion led by Sarkozy and supported by the so-called black American president, I am stunned. We are doomed as a people if we will always be applauding imperilasits in this manner. . Very frightening. If we cant see the fact that the french are in this for the newly discovered Ivorian oil and the cocoa, then we are finished. The french are now fighting for democracy? The same way they are doing so in Burkina faso with Compaore who has been in power since 2007? And Eyadema and Bongo, two french supported leaders who succeeded their fathers after they died in power? Do you guys remember that Bokassa was imposed by the same french? How about Biya?  This was the same thing the french did in Rwanda; arm the Interahamwe, support them to kill the Tutsis. Immediately the killings began, the french went in and took all westerners away, leaving the Africans to fight to finish. Yet it was the french that trained the Hutu soldiers. I am lost of words. CNN and BBC have killed my people.

The best resolution for this conflict should have been a government of national unity. It was a very devided election and the results were rigged in the north.  Hate him as much as you can, but the fact is that Gbagbo had legitmate reasons to claim his post. He had issues with the elections and followed that up constitutionally. To save African lives, since ethnicity was the main factor behind the squabbles,  a government of national unity would have been a good option. That would have helped save many lives that have been lost recently not to talk of the lives that will be lost as this crises starts to get worse. I am not worried that the french always like to invade countries. Afterall they tried that in Vietnam and were pounded roundly. Since then , they left Asia alone. I am rather so disappointed that Africans follow the western press to lynch their own. The Asians and South Americans have broken away from western imperialism because their people have started pushing back. But my people will always tell you; CNN said this, Aljazeerah said that, I heard it from the BBC so , that means it is right. It is now a cultural fad to depend on western propaganda machines for information! sigh. Looks like our independence is still far away. SMH

Dude u need to chill wit that bullsh**

Only The People in Ivory Coast "in the Know" know the kind of
Economic sapping they are going to endure under this "Alassane Ouattara"
of a guy. I know that Most African leaders do not have the act together but the
french did what they did because of the obvious gains they are going to make
based on the picture below,

IVORY COAST BEHOLD YOUR "SO CALLED" PRESIDENT ELECT AND HIS JEZEBEL FIRST LADY!!![

RECONIALISATION IS BEING ATTEMPTED BIG-TIME BUT IS GONNA FAIL!!!

mama-gee:

How were they able to get him out of his bunker?

Can someone tell us?

Princek12:

they probably had informants tell the French special forces the location of the bunker. They probably killed all his guards who did not surrender, restrained the ones who surrendered, put a gun to the back of their skull, and told them to open the bunker. This is typical special forces mission. As you can see, all his guards, including Gbagbo, are meek and weak fools who did not fight till the death. All they can do is intimidate defenseless civilians; but when confronted with a well-trained army, they give up like sisis.

Sagamite:

GBAM!!!

Fcking bastaaards!

From this:



To this:



People that, for selfish reasons, ruin lives.

KILL THEM!

Thousands dead, economy has collapsed because some ARSEHOLE cannot accept election defeat.

Then you have some REEEEEEEEEEEETARDS on NL who are more bothered about who got the arseholes out of power. Fcking fooooools!

nadkaf:

This is sad. Would we be so quick to cheer if this happened in our country and the British or Americans did this in order to install "democracy"? Where was ECOWAS (ECOMOG)? AU? Chasing the madman in the desert? Sure Gbagbo was wrong in refusing to handover, if truly he lost the elections. But are we sure his arrest is an end to the problems or just the beginning of a downward spiral? Lord have mercy!

PRINCE19:

Shame a whole African leader, Shows how backward and dependent we are in Africa>>>Most of us actually happy for his arrest>>True he has been a very unjustly and idiotic unintelligent leader, but yet are we looking beyond that and asking what is the cause of all this and the root itself, and behold see Africa in shame>>Can any western leader or country be like this.    dats the way i see it.>>,
