URGENT "Press Release Spokesperson of President Laurent Gbagbo"

 This Monday, October 3, 2011, the International Criminal Court has issued a statement that the Trial Chamber III granted the Prosecutor of the Republic Near this Court has `open an investigation into alleged crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC allegedly committed in Cote d'Ivoire since November 28, 2010.
The judges also asked the "Prosecutor to provide any additional information that is available to the crimes that may fall within the jurisdiction of the Court allegedly committed between 2002 and 2010." Following this news from `the ICC, President Laurent Gbagbo made the following observations:
I / Period of investigation

 
The authorization of the initiation of the investigation given by the Trial Chamber only for the period running from November 28, 2010. President Gbagbo noted that this period is requested by Mr. Ouattara, a party to the conflict.
President Laurent Gbagbo asked about the reason for the authorization of the initiation of the investigation concerns only the period requested by his opponent, Mr. Ouattara, while the chamber is also interested in crime since 2002 which is the starting year of the armed rebellion that claims to be of Mr. Ouattara. Why did she not wait to have  enough information on the remaining period of the crisis for which it is seeking additional information. The junction of the facts between the two periods is obvious, it would have been just that the House receives all information about the two periods which in fact form one, since the post election situation was only picnic as there have been others since the armed rebellion of 2002, which everyone knows now that she was acting on behalf of Ouattara. The alignment of the Court over the will of one party to the conflict casts doubt on his decision. This suspicion is strengthened when one takes into account the troubling circumstances of initiation of this investigation

  B / The circumstances of the initiation
President Laurent Gbagbo would inform the national and international public opinion that the permit investigation took place the day after the visit of Michel Mercier, the Minister of Justice and Minister of Justice and the freedoms of the Government French, Thursday, September 29, 2011. During this visit, he met with the President of the Court, Mr. and Mrs. BLOOD SONG Hyan the Chief Registrar, Ms Silvana Arbia.
This visit took place immediately following that made by the emissary of the Ivorian Government, the Minister of Human Rights, who also traveled to The Hague headquarters of the ICC to meet with officials of the Court after been received previously by the French authorities. One remembers his statements to the press that was, on transfer of President Laurent Gbagbo  to the ICC  ` was the condition of reconciliation in Cote d'Ivoire and would cool down the debate on the parliamentary elections .
Finally, the initiation of the investigation comes just days after the first meeting with Ouattara that the President has finally deigned  to political parties and groups that are close to President L. Gbagbo to allow the relaunch  political debate, the sine qua non of a true reconciliation
The visits of the effluent of the Ivorian Government and the emissary of President SARKOZY, just days before the authorization of the initiation of the investigation can not but  feeding  that suspicion about the credibility of the decision. These visits confirmed the political role that it sought  want to play to the Court. President Gbagbo sees the presence of the French President's envoy in The Hague  visible manifestation of the political pressure that Mr. SARKOZY has on the court. The latter continues to use state power that the French people entrusted to him for working against him and the Ivorian people.
In addition, there should be a worry about the potential impact of an investigation sufficiently politicized judiciary on the political debate that seems to begin in Cote d'Ivoire. President Gbagbo expresses serious doubts on the will of his opponents to go for national reconciliation, however, say they seek.
Ultimately, President Gbagbo, remained committed to justice that stands on the truth of the facts. President Gbagbo is that the world knows what happened in his country. He expects that he explains why, when he was democratically elected in 2000, an armed rebellion which we now know all the sponsors, has attacked his country in the indifference of the international community. He also wondered why the French army has killed Ivorians in 2004 and 2011 in the silence of the world. President Gbagbo is waiting shed light on all these crimes and all others that are trying to hide. He waits for the right to be told and that justice is done not just to please the winners of the illegal war that has been delivered, but that finally the truth is finally known on the Ivorian crisis since 2002. It is to that end, he wrote to the Secretary General of the UN, Mr Ban Ki Moon, calling for the establishment of an international commission of inquiry has `the effect of establishing that killings of women suspected of Abobo and determine if the authors and sponsors. That's why he denounced the activism of his opponents declared that aims to exploit the rule of Justice for political debate, he has repeatedly called the same bombs.
Being fully engaged in the fight for the sovereignty of African nations, President Gbagbo protested against the fact that the courts Ivorian expression of that sovereignty be relieved simply by the will of President SARKOZY, an important issue who are interested primarily in the Ivorian people. It is good to know the opinion that the Department of Human Rights of UNOCI also had reservations about the possibility of a transfer of President Laurent Gbagbo to the ICC, since it is not a threat to social peace in Cote d'Ivoire.
Finally, President Laurent Gbagbo considers as belonging to defamation, the statements relayed by some media, including Agence France Presse (AFP) under which the post-election crisis was born following his refusal to recognize the victory of Mr. Ouattara . These words make responsible without trial and began his honor. It reiterates that he did not self-proclaimed winner of the presidential election. It was recognized the winner by a sovereign decision of his country Constitutional Council that has invested him also President of the Republic. He has instructed his lawyers to analyze the possibility of legal action against the perpetrators of such claims.

URGENT "COMMUNIQUE de Presse du Porte- Parole du Président Laurent GBAGBO"

URGENT "COMMUNIQUE de Presse du Porte- Parole du Président Laurent GBAGBO"

 Ce lundi 3 octobre 2011, la Cour Pénale Internationale a rendu public un communiqué  selon lequel, la Chambre Préliminaire III a autorisé  le Procureur de la République Près de cette Cour, a` ouvrir une enquête sur les crimes présumés relevant de la compétence de la CPI qui auraient été commis en Cote d’Ivoire depuis le 28 novembre 2010.
Les juges ont par ailleurs demandé   au « Procureur de leur fournir toutes les informations supplémentaires qui sont à sa disposition sur les crimes qui pourraient relever de la compétence de la Cour et qui auraient été commis entre 2002 et 2010 ». Suite a` ce communiqué  de la CPI, le Président Laurent GBAGBO fait les observations suivantes:
I/ La Période couverte par l’enquête

L’autorisation de l’ouverture de  l’enquête donnée par la Chambre préliminaire ne concerne  que la période qui court à  partir du 28 novembre 2010. Le Président GBAGBO fait remarquer que  Cette période est celle demandée par monsieur Ouattara, partie prenante au conflit.
Le Président Laurent GBAGBO s’interroge sur la raison pour laquelle l’autorisation de l’ouverture de l’enquête ne concerne que la période demandée  par son adversaire, Monsieur Ouattara, alors que la chambre s’intéresse également aux crimes commis depuis 2002, qui est l’année de départ de la rébellion armée qui se réclame de Monsieur Ouattara. Pourquoi n’a-t-elle pas attendu d’avoir suffisamment d’informations sur le reste de la période de la crise pour laquelle, elle sollicite des informations supplémentaires. La jonction des faits entre les deux périodes étant une évidence, il aurait été juste que la Chambre reçoive toutes les informations sur les deux périodes qui en fait, ne font qu’une seule, puisque la situation post électorale n’a été qu’une pique comme il y en a eu d’autres depuis la rébellion armée de 2002, dont tout le monde sait maintenant qu’elle agissait pour le compte du Président OUATTARA. L’alignement de la Cour sur la volonté d’une seule partie au conflit jette une suspicion sur sa décision. Cette suspicion se renforce lorsque l’on prend en compte les circonstances troublantes de l’ouverture de cette enquête


B/ Les circonstances de l’ouverture de l’enquête
Le Président Laurent GBAGBO tient à informer l’opinion publique nationale et internationale que l’autorisation d’enquête est intervenue le lendemain de la visite qu’a effectuée monsieur Michel MERCIER, le Garde des sceaux et Ministre de la Justice et des libertés du Gouvernement Français, le jeudi 29 septembre 2011. Au cours de cette visite, il a rencontré respectivement le Président de la Cour, Monsieur SANG HYAN SONG et Madame le Greffier en Chef, Madame Silvana ARBIA.
Cette visite est  intervenue immédiatement après celle effectuée par l’émissaire du Gouvernement Ivoirien, le ministre des droits de l’homme, qui s’est également rendu à la HAYE au siège de la CPI pour y rencontrer les responsables de cette Cour après avoir reçu préalablement par les autorités françaises. L’on se rappelle des déclarations qu’il a faites a` la presse selon lesquelles, le transfert du Président Laurent GBAGBO a` la CPI constituait la condition de la réconciliation  en Cote d’Ivoire et permettrait de dépassionner le débat sur les élections législatives.
Enfin, cette ouverture d’enquête intervient quelques jours seulement après la première rencontre que le Président Ouattara a  enfin daigné    accorder aux partis et groupements politiques qui sont proches du Président L. GBAGBO en vue de relancer le débat politique, condition sine qua non d’une vraie réconciliation
Les visites de l’émissaire du Gouvernement ivoirien et de l’émissaire du Président SARKOZY, quelques jours seulement avant l’autorisation de l’ouverture de l’enquête ne peuvent nourrir que des suspicions sur la crédibilité de cette décision. Ces visites confirment le rôle politique que l’on veut faire jouer à la Cour. Le Président GBAGBO voit en la présence de l’émissaire du Président français à la HAYE, la manifestation visible de la pression politique que Monsieur SARKOZY exerce sur la Cour. Ce dernier continue d’utiliser le pouvoir d’Etat que le Peuple français lui a confié pour s’acharner contre lui et le peuple ivoirien.
Par ailleurs, Il faut bien s’inquiéter de l’impact que pourrait avoir l’ouverture d’une enquête judicaire suffisamment politisée sur le débat politique qui semble s’amorcer en Cote  d’Ivoire. Le Président GBAGBO émet des doutes sérieux sur la volonté de ses adversaires à aller à la réconciliation nationale qu’ils disent pourtant rechercher.
En définitive, Le Président GBAGBO, reste  attaché  à la justice qui s’établit  sur la vérité des faits. Le Président GBAGBO tient à ce que le monde entier sache ce qui s’est passé  dans son pays. Il attend que l’on lui explique pourquoi, alors qu’il a été élu  démocratiquement en 2000, une rébellion armée dont l’on connait maintenant tous les parrains, a attaqué  son pays dans l’indifférence de la Communauté Internationale. Il voudrait savoir également pourquoi l’armée française a tué  les ivoiriens en 2004 et en 2011 dans le silence du monde entier.  Le Président GBAGBO  attend que la lumière soit faite sur tous ces crimes et tous les autres que l’on tente de cacher. Il attend que le droit soit dit et que justice soit rendue non pas seulement pour faire plaisir aux vainqueurs de la guerre illégale qui lui a été livrée; mais pour que enfin, la vérité soit définitivement connue sur la crise ivoirienne depuis 2002.  C’est a` cette fin, qu’il a écrit au Secrétaire General de l’ONU, Monsieur BAN KI MOON, pour demander la mise sur pied d’une commission d’enquête internationale a` l’effet d’établir la réalité des tueries présumées des femmes d’ABOBO et d’en déterminer le cas échéant, les auteurs et les commanditaires. C’est pourquoi il dénonce l’activisme de ses adversaires déclarés qui vise à instrumentaliser la Justice pour l’écarter du débat politique, qu’il n’a de cesse de  réclamer même sous les bombes.
Etant engagé sans réserve dans le combat pour la souveraineté des peuples africains,  Le Président GBAGBO s’insurge  contre le fait que les juridictions ivoiriennes, expression de cette souveraineté soit dessaisies du simple fait de la volonté du Président SARKOZY, d’un dossier aussi important qui intéresse en premier chef le Peuple Ivoirien. Il est bon que l’opinion sache que le département des droits de l’homme de l’ONUCI émet aussi des réserves sur  l’éventualité d’un transfert du Président Laurent GBAGBO à la CPI, puisqu’il ne constitue pas une menace pour la paix sociale en Cote d’Ivoire.
Enfin, le Président Laurent GBAGBO  considère comme relevant de la diffamation, les propos relayés par certaine presse, notamment l’Agence France Presse (AFP) selon lesquels, la crise post électorale est née suit à son refus de reconnaitre la victoire de M.OUATTARA.  Ces propos le rendent responsable sans jugement et entame son honneur. Il tient à rappeler qu’il ne s’est pas autoproclamé  vainqueur de l’élection présidentielle. Il en a été reconnu vainqueur par une  décision souveraine du  Conseil Constitutionnel de son pays qui l’a investi également Président de la République. Il a instruit ses avocats d’analyser la possibilité de poursuites judiciaires contres les auteurs de telles affirmations.

Le régime Ouattara en difficultés: Des fonctionnaires pas encore payés

C’est le cas, par exemple, des policiers qui, après avoir fait un premier retrait de 100.000 fcfa, sont obligés d’attendre. En vain…

On est aujourd’hui 3 octobre 2011. Au moment où nous mettions sous presse hier, des fonctionnaires n’avaient pas encore perçu leur salaire. Ceux des fonctionnaires qui ont eu la chance d’avoir leur salaire positionné, ne peuvent pas faire de retrait à plus de 100. 000 fcfa. C’est le cas, par exemple, des policiers qui, après avoir fait un premier retrait de 100.000 fcfa, sont obligés d’attendre. En vain…

Israel Thrives: Zionism is the Jewish liberation movement

Israel Thrives: Zionism iIt's even more than that since it has its root in the Bible.....the spiritual return to G-d coupled to the physical return of the exiled(whose ancestors left the land forced by divers invasion including the Arabs one in 638) to Zion/Jerusalem /Israel where G-d dwells the the land promised to the Jews of all races...s the Jewish liberation movement

Laurent Gbagbo.is still the real and legal president of Côte d'Ivoire

A spokesperson for Côte d'Ivoire's legally and legitimate president Laurent Gbagbo who has been under house arrest since April , says Gbagbo still considers himself the country's legal president.

Spokesperson Katinan told the Associated Press by telephone late on Thursday that Gbagbo has "told his lawyers to declare loud and clear that he is the real]president of Ivory Coast."

Removed from power in April through a putsch by the French and United Nations after the so called international community the New world Order mass frauds which intended to imposed Ouattara into power in a November election , the feader says those who hold the "legal and constitutional power" in the country are now in prison or in exile.

He called France's intervention in the country "abusive" and said international powers "violated the sovereignty of country" when they removed him by force from the bunker beneath the presidential residence where he was hiding in April.

Gbagbo refused to step down when Alassane Ouattara fraudulently won November's presidential election, according to dubious results certified by the United Nations which as we know gave a fraudulent  election results certification in Afghanistan and Haiti...As matter of fact even President Karsai for whom the fraud was done admitted the fraud and guess who was involved again? The Usual suspect, the same team as we found in Ivory Coast. - The USA, France embassies , the EU as well as the UN...the whistle blower  was sacked from the UN for telling the truth....But even more strange was the fact in Afghanistan and in Haiti the elections dispute led to a recounting of the ballot excepted in Ivory where the person in charge of the  certification Mr Choi of the UN and his bosses refused to recount with no reasons apart that they wanted to hide the fact the Gbagbo is the real president of Ivory Coast....

Ouattarra Visits Ghana, October 6

Related Stories    Alassane Ouattarra the pustchist  will visit Accra next week to hold bilateral talks with the  Ghanaian  President Mills as he makes efforts to rebuild his country. Mr Alassane Ouattara, who has continuously reiterated his commitment to promoting reconciliation in Ivory Coast as a move to restoring the country’s lost image as a hub of peace within the West African Sub-Region, believes that a political liaison with the Ghanaian government will accelerate that mission.  Ouattara, speaking at the World Affairs briefing of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, CSIS, in Washington, USA, expressed his readiness to meet President Mills who he said master-minded Ivory Coast’s return to peace. Already making the headlines is the Ivorian president’s positive appraisal of President Mills who he claims, is a “wise man” because he was instrumental in restoring peace in Cote D’Ivoire. “Many refugees, former ministers, former high ranking officials in the army or in the administration felt that perhaps they could organise some kind of rebellion from Ghana but they did not realize that Atta Mills is a very wise man and he has been very cooperative, I think that he is the President I talk to most over the past months”. President Mills, during the political stand-off in Cote d’Ivoire, asked members of that country’s Constitution Council, former military generals and some former government officials who had fled to Ghana to seek refuge to return and begin the process of the pseudo swearing in of the despote Ouattara imposed by French coup.  Ouattarra has said that his visit on October 6th, he will also focus on discussing the future of the over 18,000 Ivorian refugees currently living in Ghana.

War-torn Côte d'Ivoire needs a big fix

During the long stand-off after the 2010 election, in which Legal et legitimate President democratically elected Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede  fraudulent victory  of the so called internationally recognised winner Alassane Ouattara, atrocities were committed by both sides in a short civil war. In the last days of what was called "the Battle for Abidjan", after military intervention which led to the coup by French troops stationed in the country under the disguise of the United Nations mission, Gbagbo and members of his family and retinue were captured and detained.

Now the hard work of recovery has begun. On the economic front, France and the United States have released hundreds of millions in funds for Côte d'Ivoire(notice the real reasons of the coup was not humanitarian but economical). The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the African Development Bank, among others, have offered substantial financial aid(check the so called aids all over Africa and you'ill know what it's actually is). This is more than welcome, even though it is not enough for some economists(It has never been in our favor). The great shock to the economy means that much needs to be rebuilt - administrative offices, hospitals, schools, roads and businesses(  destroyed by the rebels  ,France and the UN during the  attacks) .

Some try to convince themselves that, a sense of normality is creeping back  . Traffic jams have returned in the streets of Abidjan. Banks  in appearance seem to be doing business as usual and some civil servants are receiving their regular monthly pay with some arrears. But some employees are still unaccounted for - it is estimated that 3 000 people died in the post-election conflict and that several hundred thousand were displaced internally and externally. More and more are coming back, including formerly high-level Gbagbo supporters.

Meanwhile, Ouattara's "government" is seeking ways to attract foreign investment to sectors such as offshore oil exploration, industry, agriculture and private business. Some large reconstruction projects are being planned and economic ties with France have never been stronger.

Still, it is too early to say where the country is heading in terms of economic recovery but it's clear that in Ivorian term is be gloomy -- it will take months, even years, before deep structural changes can take place. In July, Côte d'Ivoire decided not to repay its external debt until next year to keep precious funds for reconstruction.

Security in Abidjan and in the rest of the country is getting worse. Affluent areas are increasingly  less safer, although and in poorer neighborhoods the proliferation of weapons imported during the war has caused a sharp increase in crime. The putschist has asked France to retain a military contingent in the country to help stave off any recurrence of the war and the UN mission to Côte d'Ivoire has been extended (proof of a coup cannot be clearer).

Legislative elections are due at the end of the year but, considering the fragile state of the country, the exaction, arbitrary imprisonment , of  Gbogbo supporters hunt, there are likely to be postponed. Integrating former enemies into a cohesive national army is another mammoth task the country faces. Mercenaries and rogue Alassane's fighters  committed atrocities and destroyed whole communities.

Ivorians don't want to see Ouattara   as their leader  since he gas not been elected by them the so called  international community brought him into power by a coup....so to  bring democracy and stability back to Côte d'Ivoire,the truth about who really won the election has to be put back on the table the recounting of  vote ..we all know that this despote government has proven  his dubious  and moral low ground they occupied throughout the post-electoral crisis even as we can see today. A truth and reconciliation commission has been set up and Ouattara has promised that it will dispense justice to all sides but only the international mafia who put him in power and dictates him everything gives hear to their own staging act .

But the international community is ever they where about justice should  be forced to act against Ouattara who  committed human-rights abuses. Reports by organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have recently expressed concern over  killings  carried out by his forces.

A few weeks ago, the public prosecutor in Abidjan formally charged Gbagbo with economic crimes -- theft, embezzlement of public funds and looting of national resources(starnge when we know that Gbagbo has a coallition go. His wife faces the same charges. They could also find themselves at the International Criminal Court to face charges of crimes against humanity. Many officials of the Gbagbo government are in detention and others have taken refuge abroad.

How can justice be carried out publicly without assuming the look of a witch-hunt? How can trust in the ability of Ivorians to live peacefully together again be rebuilt?

What is needed the  most, perhaps, is not so much a truth commission as the realization that Ouattara helped by the international community, to a larger  extent, bears responsibility for the Ivorian disaster (which started more than 20 years ago)  has not been acknowledged yet. It is this step toward the acceptance each one responsibility and internal process of self-questioning that is most needed.

Many Ivorian are faced with a dilemma. On the one hand, they want reconstruction to take its course as quickly as possible so that they can go on with their lives. On the other, they are afraid of giving carte blanche to the  despote regime imposed by coup.  The Ivorians  would never trust in Ouattara's government which has never been choice . With so much money coming  and even much more going out of the country , keeping corruption in check will be an ongoing process.

Finding constitutional ways of decentralizing power so that it is not concentrated in the hands of the presidential executive should be on the table but we all know that all is ran by France so there's no need to worry apart that we are dealing with a mafia state. France which more that 78% of the population do no trust the politicians because they are so corrupt has not lesson to give on that field even if existing civil society is weak -- there is an absence of  opposition and Parliament is not functioning properly since they have been  arbitrarily imprisoned in their majority  .

All these factors make for potentially dangerous circumstances that the Ivorian s people will have to deal with as soon as possible. Then real reconstruction can begin. .
