Ivory Coast: Blaise Compaoré could end his mediation
By African Bulletin on June 4, 2010
“Despite of all passed agreements, Ivory Coast is always in search of a presidential election, ceaselessly pushed away since the end of President Laurent Gbagbo mandate, in 2005 “. Thus, the mediator, the President of the Burkina Faso, Blaise Compaoré, would be tired of the prevarications of some and of the others. Either he would have the feeling that his duty is achieved, and would indeed like to let the way to the incumbents to settle the last details before the ballot.
Let us recall that president Gbagbo recently underlined that he «wished the holding of the elections as soon as possible, provided that they are transparent and credible”. But also let us remind that since 2002, there were several mediations and all were «killed in the egg “. The last one was translated by the Ouagadougou agreement, in March 2007. This agreement had to bring the Ivory Coast to appropriate conditions for the elections, to be opened in 10 months. But 38 months later, the agreement is on the way to be thrown to the trapdoor”.
Other explanation would be that president Blaise Compaoré is overloaded as well by the other mediations, namely the Togolese crisis and the Guinean crisis, but also on the “home front”, with in particular the presidential elections of next November.
If ever this would happen, and the president of Faso “throws in the towel”, he will not have to be ashamed with his mediation. The Ivory Coast people and all the Africans would be grateful to him for all the efforts and facilitations he indeed procured to these African counties.
