Thanks for the comment brother. ...Hey there Dade! Thanks for the comment brother. <br /><br />I'm happy that you hear me on this post ... thought I was going a little nuts thinking about it after posting.<br /><br />The situation in Ivory Coast is worrying for the democratization of the continent. Gbagbo is playing old African politics. The kind that has him paying off the military to keep him in power.<br /><br />I read yesterday that he is promising a peaceful resolution to the dispute.<br /><br />Quattara's camp is confused by what this means.<br /><br />He is buying time most likely. Playing dirty politics including making reference to the fact that Quattara is a Muslim.<br /><br />Some in Gbagbo's camp claim that Quattara is seeking to 'Islamify' the the Ivory Coast.<br /><br />They ignore his secular politics and of course the fact that he won the election.<br /><br />What a circus? I worry that if things are not settled we may see the kind of violence that tore Kenya apart in 2007/08 after their disputed election.<br /><br />The African Union needs to empower ECOWAS to remove Gbagbo and do so soon.<br /><br />Even the real threat of such an action may lead him to step down.<br /><br />Just my 2.5 cents worth from Pretoria.<br /><br />Peace my brother.<br /><br />RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-8132957008126021602011-01-04T23:46:46.706+02:002011-01-04T23:46:46.706+02:00Brother, you can't imagine how close to home t...Brother, you can't imagine how close to home this post hits for me.<br /><br />Glad to see you're back to posting. <br /><br />Keep the faith. <br /><br />PS.
