Another Dimension Of The Ivorian Crisis. What Do You Think?


Here is a dissenting view of events in Ivory Coast. What Do you think?
Posted by Robert B on Yahoo! News.
Here's another example of the mainstream media completely hiding the real reasons for a conflict from the masses. I could be kind and say they're just stupid, or I could be correct and say they're terrified of what will happen when people know the truth. If you knew that the Ivory Coast in 1957 had about a 20% Muslim population and that today it is over 50%. If you then knew that the supposedly democratically elected new leader is Muslim while the old one is Christian, do you think those facts might be important? Have you heard that on the news?

And if anyone can find any mention of the Islam vs Christianity element of this civil war on the news, do let me know.

There is a civil war in the Ivory Coast between Muslims and Christians. Unsurprisingly the EU has chosen to back the Muslim side. France is using armed force to insure that the Muslims take over.

Islam came to the Ivory Coast via Berber slave traders. Now it is trying to take over with mass murder and the backing of the 'international community'. The post-colonial Ivory Coast was a success story. But Muslim immigration has turned it into a nightmare.

The media narrative on the Cote D'Ivorie crisis is that Muslim thug Alassane Ouattarra is the legitimately elected leader of the country. But Alassane Ouattarra had a Birther problem of his own. Under Ivory Coast law, the president and his parents have to be native born. Alassane Ouattarra was born in the Ivory Coast, but his father wasn't. That legally disqualified him from holding office. He tried for it anyway despite a Supreme Court ruling barring him.

Ouattarra tried to present forged documents, resulting in a warrant for his arrest. He ran for office yet again. But this time he brought large numbers of Muslim immigrants who were not legally qualified to vote to the polls. Numerically he won, but the invalid votes were thrown out by the Constitutional Council. The 'international community' chose to back Ouattarra, who had no legal right to even stand for office, and his illegal Muslim voters. Now they're doing everything possible to put him in power.

Let's be clear about what is going on here. Gbago is no saint-- few African leaders are. But Alassane Ouattarra and his Muslim thugs are trying to turn the Ivory Coast into another Sudan filled with the bodies of Christians and Animists. Backing an Ouattarra takeover means backing another Muslim genocide against Christians and Animists.

The Obama Administration has pushed for the replacement of Gbago with Ouattarra. The UN has used mostly unproven war crimes allegations, that smack of events in Yugoslavia, to conduct a war to put Ouattarra and his Muslim thugs in power. Meanwhile the UN did not intervene military when Muslims were engaged in genocide in Sudan. UN peacekeepers serve as Ouattara's private bodyguard.

Despite all the lies about acting on behalf of Ivorians-- the UN is acting on behalf of Muslims. On behalf of Ouattara and the Muslim immigrants drawn by the wealth of Côte d'Ivoire.

The numbers tell the tale. In 1957, Muslims barely made up 20 percent of the country. In the 90's, they were already half the country. The boom has come from migrant workers. Many of whom were enlisted to vote for Ouattara.

This civil war hinges on the question of whether Muslim immigrants should be allowed to take over the Côte d'Ivoire. The UN says yes. Obama says yes. France says yes. But this is a preview of coming attractions for Europe and America as well.

Radical Muslims in Africa's Ivory Coast, with the military backing of the United Nations and France, are perpetrating a massacre on the country's Christians while the Obama administration stands by and does nothing.

Now, Ivory Coast President-elect Alassane Ouattara's largely Muslim forces have kept Christian Laurent Gbagbo, the current president, in his Abidjan residence under siege.

In retaliation, Gbagbo forces launched two mortars and a rocket at the residence of the French ambassador and French helicopter gunships responded by attacking Gbagbo forces, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

In a report issued last week, Human Rights Watch documented that forces loyal to Ouattara killed hundreds of civilians and raped more than 20 alleged Gbagbo supporters as they burned at least 10 villages in the Ivory Coast's western region.

"People interviewed by Human Rights Watch described how, in village after village, pro-Ouattara forces, now called the Republican forces of Cote d'Ivorie (Forces Republicaines Cote d'Ivorie, FRCI) summarily executed and raped Gbagbo supporters in their homes, as they worked in the fields, as they fled, or as they tried to hide in the bush," the report noted. "The fighters often targeted people by ethnicity, and the attacks disproportionately affected those too old or feeble to flee."

On Saturday, reports from the Ivory Coast published by the London Evening Standard indicate that more than 200 bodies, some of them burned alive, have been found in the country.

The newspaper reported the concern of the International Rescue Committee that even if the military showdown in Abidjan were to end, the looting, hostility, bloodshed, reprisal killings and sexual assaults will continue to escalate in communities across the country.

The silence of the Obama administration on the violence in the Ivory Coast makes hypocritical the president's declaration in his May 28 speech on Libya that U.S. military action there was necessary to prevent a massacre by Gadhafi that "would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world."

The truth is that Obama, like the French and the U.N., support the radical Muslims that have taken over the "rebel forces" in Libya, just as Obama, the French and the U.N. support the Muslims in the Ivory Coast trying to remove from power the current Christian president, even if the Muslim supporters of Ouattara engage in massacres and mass rape against Christians.

What the Ivory Coast situation makes clear is that the consistency in the Obama administration's policy regarding the turmoil in North Africa is that Obama directs U.S. policy to support radical Islam, even to the point of being hypocritical in arguing United States policy is motivated by a desire to protect human rights and prevent massacre in the various ongoing conflicts in countries including the Ivory Coast and Libya.

This is the ugly truth the mainstream media in the United States will never openly report.
The West had insisted that Ivory Coast could be reconciled, reunified and essentially saved by means of democratic elections, such is their faith in 'democracy' and the inherent goodness of man. In reality, the divisions are so profound and the stakes are so high that, unless genuine reconciliation occurred first, elections could only trigger conflict. Elections were held on 28 November 2010, with both Gbagbo and Ouattara claiming victory. The US, European Union and African Union have recognised Ouattara as the winner and called for Gbagbo to respect democracy and step down. Russia meanwhile is blocking a UN statement that would recognise Ouatarra, saying that this is not the UN's role. Ivory Coast's non-Muslims are traumatised, fearing that their homeland -- once the most prosperous 'Christian' nation in West Africa, home to the region's largest cathedral, home-base to most of West Africa's regional Christian ministries -- is about to come under Muslim political domination.
