An essential book, written by a man who was at the heart of the war post-election that saw, heard and experienced moments and obtained data particularly illuminating. "My truth about the plot against Gbagbo" Alain Dogou, Defense Minister of the Government N'Gbo Ake deserves to be read and highlighted. Edited by L'Harmattan, along just under 180 pages, it is characterized by the large number of first-hand revelations it contains. Of embarrassing revelations for Choi Young-jin, the former head of UNOCI - who had promised to review a book of stories to be published by Jeune Afrique, which was never released - and for peacekeepers and officials of the Glass House in New York, but also Louis Moreno-Ocampo and the prosecutor's office of the Criminal Court, whose argument is often being undermined so difficult to refute.  Dogou 's
book is edifying book of secrets from the inside, on matters within the political, military and diplomatic. We deliver here, as in yesterday's edition, some "good stories" of this precious book.When UNOCI "manufactured" mass graves
"The division of Human Rights of UNOCI has crossed the Rubicon by posting on the website of the mission that mass graves were up in the area N'dotré, near the town of Anyama but that the sites they were forbidden to visit the soldiers favorable to Laurent Gbagbo. A former member of Norway, Lars Ruse, who was previously an election observer in several countries on behalf of the European Parliament has decided itself to come to Ivory Coast to see firsthand the serious crimes that were denounced by the mission of UN. When he arrived in Ivory Coast, he asked the Interior Minister to issue a "pass" to go everywhere, especially on the supposed site of incorporation of the mass graves that were banned from visiting the UN mission. The interior minister, Emile Guirieoulou reported to the former member as a "pass" does not exist in the nomenclature of documents issued by his office. But if it were to produce a custom, it would only be valid in the territory under government control N'Gbo Ake, especially since atrocities and serious crimes were current in the northern part of the Ivorian territory under control of rebel forces.At her insistence, the Minister has Guirieoulou design a document tailored to the Norwegian MP. This, according to his remarks published by several national television and media after a press conference he organized, visited the headquarters of UNOCI to present his "pass "and asked the authors of the publication of information relating to restraining orders, to accompany him on the sites of mass graves in question. In response, officials of UNOCI would have said no there was nothing and that the information of the ban on visiting the alleged mass grave sites they have uploaded to the Internet was unfounded. The MEP had been so outraged that he held a press conference to denounce what he himself described as "irresponsible media manipulation of UNOCI" (...) Faced with accusations of MEP to clearance, 17 March 2011, the UN mission in Cote d'Ivoire issued a statement that I fully appreciated the content: "The 12 and 13 March 2011, UNOCI sent two (2) teams investigating allegations of mass grave N'dotré. In result, there was no identified place that can accommodate a mass grave, or traces of mass graves (...) investigation teams found no body in the morgue nearing completion where we reported body preserved. " "
 
When UNOCI invented false reports
"The last straw in serious breaches of UNOCI is to have developed a false report to voluntarily mislead the Security Council of the UN in order to snatch a resolution to condemn and punish the lawful government and legitimate Laurent Gbagbo.Indeed, February 27, 2011, in a statement at UN headquarters in New York, the organization responsible for world peace accused, on the basis of a report of the Representative of the Secretary-General in Côte d'Ivoire, the government of President Laurent Gbagbo of violating the arms embargo in force since 2004. In this statement, the UN accused the government of Belarus to have delivered two helicopters and weapons to the regime of Laurent Gbagbo. (...)The next day February 28, 2011, the government of President Laurent Gbagbo, speaking through his spokesman has denied the information of suspected illegal shipments of weapons. After duplication, March 2, 2011, the UN through the voice of French Alain Le Roy, in charge of operations of peacekeeping in the world, apologized to the Belarusian government in a public statement indicating that "the UN had been misled "without more. No word against the government of Laurent Gbagbo, who had been falsely accused with trumpets. "
 
An African head of state, "Gbagbo won the elections but the westerns did not want him"
On 5 March 2011, the second meeting of the five (5) members of the panel of the African Union began in Mauritania with two (2) hours late. The reason: the plane of the Tanzanian President would have been delayed considerably for having said, an unexpected detour through Paris before heading for Nouakchott, a true meander air. The result of this meeting determine the outcome of the conflict in  Ivory Coast, is the second visit that would make the five (5) Heads of State Panel members scheduled the same day of March 5, 2011 in Abidjan was canceled indefinitely die. The precursors of Presidents of South Africa (ship and aircraft) and Chad (2 planes) that were already on Ivorian soil in Ivorian waters and had to turn back the same day after 20 h, without anyone knowing real reasons for this sudden change of plans.The reality is that before the second meeting of March 5 Heads of State Panel members in Nouakchott, recurring information from Addis Ababa, and several circulating in diplomatic circles, reported a strong tendency for the outright cancellation of the elections on November 28, 2010 and the formation of a unity government that would aim to organize a new election transparent in the near future.Large underground diplomatic negotiations and sometimes the pressures of all kinds, have prevented the triumph of this objective , during the second meeting of Heads of State in Nouakchott. According to a head of state panel member who said he had not had the courage to come to Abidjan, Gbagbo look across to him of the decision of the African Union but he did not share before which he had to bow, "it was at this meeting that I realized that the case of Laurent Gbagbo came from far away and that it was not a simple matter of ascertaining the truth as I had originally thought. Gbagbo has indeed won the elections but the westerns did not want him. One that emphasizes risk of suffering the same fate as him. Tell him to leave power to Ouattara. If he insists, what happens behind would  not be good for him. "
 
Gbagbo as the Czech Alexander Dubcek ...
"President Laurent Gbagbo has not designed a war. He and I his defense minister during the crisis, had never talked of war. It was more a question for us to see, how to defend the institutions and the Ivorians if we were attacked, as implied the release of ECOWAS. (...) Laurent Gbagbo, who is a man of peace and virtue, remained in this position when France, ECOWAS, UNOCI and FRCI launched the offensive in Abidjan. He had the same reaction Alexander Dubcek in 1968 when Moscow's tanks had landed in Czechoslovakia to end the Prague Spring. Namely: "let go and they go to the end of their logic."
