Something that does not include chanceries very well lately. It is the stubborn resistance of some heads of state, they are called Laurent Gbagbo and Muammar Gaddafi. Former Ivorian president, remained at his post after the election on November 29, 2010, has seen over the weeks fly his supporters. His former prime minister has defected, the African Union has recognized the victory of his challenger in the presidential Alassane Ouattara, and even Pretoria, early supporter of his cause, he finally did it was time to leave.
By seizing cash from banks, it could extend the deadline, but without changing the course of events (see our file pages 38 and 39). Gbagbo why he persisted in refusing any output negotiated until the last minute? In doing so, it will as much as his enemy Ouattara and others responsible for the massacres of ethnic civil war that has unleashed too long.
Of course, to explain the conduct of Gbagbo, we can "look for the woman," Simone in this case, a first lady to handle. But it would not be enough. There Gbagbo at the cozy feeling of having been chosen to look a certain way as elected. His evangelical religion there would be something to do (see article by Venance Konan page 12).
Even without the theological or spiritual support, an all-powerful president - let alone a dictator - has an enormous ego. Or rather he has an ego to the extent of his empire real or dreamed. "The state is me," they all say, without being as bright as Louis XIV. Last week, David Brooks was surprised that a "crazy" like Gadhafi, who has a fairly resilient compared with the real, from remaining forty-two years in power.
But precisely, said the New York Times columnist, is this madness, this certainty of the truth and to fulfill a historical mission that gives these narcissistic leaders will endure, and often some skill to get there. Now, for the Ivorians, another story begins. They have suffered decades of discord on Ivorian and struggles with heavy weapons must pass the peace.
The News as saying at Brazzaville, the last battle is not the easiest.
