Sidi,

It is too bad that these idiots we seem to have on the continent always live
up to their reputations as power hungry gluttons just waiting to sink their
fangs into the people and meager assets of their respective countries. What
in heaven's name does aattacking mosques or churches have to do with the
people trying to get decent representation?
Looks like Gkagbo is turning into the proverbial Wollof story fool who one
evening, pointed out the  moon and everyone thought he had finally recovered
from his insanity; because he used to be pretty much oblivious to his
surroundings as a result of his madness. But just as everyone started
celebrating his recovery, he turned around and said, " and there is a second
moon over there in the sky" Since there is only one Moon, you know how that
story ended.
I heard on National Public Radio this enening that Gkagbo is not calling for
newe elections. I guess he does not want the chance to be president to slip
through his fingers, even if it means that the interest of the people of
Ivory Coast are not put first. So what else is new?

 Cotonou.  Should this new twist to the story prove to be true, then there is
 going to be some factional fighting unless serious mediation talks are
 convened immediately, now that the situation is turning ugly with ethic and

 Meanwhile, South Africa, Togo, OAU and ECOWAS have all called for fresh
 elections to be held in which all the political parties participate.
