Random Thoughts on Cote d'Ivoire and Libya

Random Thoughts on Cote d’Ivoire and Libya

By Innocent Chia
In the course of the several weeks and months of loyal partisan rage and carnage in Cote d’Ivoire, it needed a lot of restraint to not jump into the fascinating vociferousness for or against President Laurent Gbagbo and Allasane Ouattara that soared on cyber forums. I would be a bold faced liar not to express my consternation for those opinions that not only embraced Gbagbo’s mid-game changing rules; they eagerly threaded the nonsense that Ouattara’s French-wife sealed the deal. Such anti-Western feelings, a staple for Muammar Kaddafi, equally garnered support and sympathy for Libya’s strongman as the international community finally came to the rescue of a defiant opposition. Be it in the Cote d’Ivoire case or the unfolding drama in Libya, it is disturbing, albeit unsurprising, that a substantial number within the vocal Cameroonian Diaspora eschewed democracy.
