Reader comment:

The First democrature of the modern age. A President elected by the shadowy "International community",

rejected by the people, who butchered his way to the presidency...not even born in the Country.

Mr Ouattara, now acclaimed by the world community as their man, is not the people's man: two failed coups, one electoral coup (massive fraud, violence, rapes in the voting centers...all encouraged by the UN & france) now finally openly propelled to power through MASSIVE french bombings which killed over 3000 unarmed civilians (9/11????.....RADIO SILENCE).

His true supporters are the French who have been bleeding the country for decades.....aidiing then???? not so fast.!!!!...all IVOIRIAN money!!! And the neighboring sahelian countries....above all Burkina Faso, native land of Ouattara. This mottley band of bloody renegades have created a no mans land in the north over the past 10 years. They have butchered their way to the south, burning villages, slitting throats, planting land mines around refugee camps.....with French & UN support. The populations are terrorized.....did we see mass celebrations in the streets of Abidjan yesterday? No, just some ragtag elements mostly illegal Sahaelians from neighboring countries, and armed rebels. What's left of the population of this beleagured country is locked behind their doors, cowering wondering what next?

DEMOCRATURE: Retain the term....rigged elections to favor rebel groups supported by the shadowy international community to promote their own selfish interests, mainly access to resources.

The French are quite good at this; they have been practicing it in Africa FOREVER....and are right now in the process iof doing so n Libya. source: csmonitor.com
