Paris. .- The United Nations-led negotiations and France to secure the resignation of outgoing president of Ivory Coast have failed "because of the intransigence" of Laurent Gbagbo, said Wednesday as the French foreign minister, Alain Juppe. "The negotiations that took place yesterday (Tuesday) between the environment Laurent Gbagbo and the Ivorian authorities failed because of the intransigence of Gbagbo," Juppe said in Parliament.
On the other hand, Toussaint Alain, an adviser to outgoing President of the Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, said Wednesday that this residence is being bombarded by the French army and UN troops. "Gbagbo's residence is being attacked with heavy weapons and helicopters bombed by French Army," said Alain in the French channel "France 24".
The director denied that Gbagbo is sheltering in a bunker, but protected in the official residence, and denied he is willing to go into exile. "Gbagbo had the campaign slogan was' the son of the country." And the 'native son' when the tide is not thrown into the sea, stays on the ground.
No matter what happens, Gbagbo will remain in Cote Ivory as president, "he said. Alain reported that since the bombing began on Monday French in the country have produced "more than a thousand victims only in Abidjan, but said the number may reach 2,000. "Surely we must end this tragic human situation," said Gbagbo adviser, who denied that the outgoing president is negotiating to relinquish power.
French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppe, said this morning that they are negotiating the conditions for release from Gbagbo, after the Gallic government insisted that its surrender is "a matter of hours." France demands the outgoing president to recognize the election victory in the Presidential Alassane Ouattara November.
But Alain has denied that political negotiations and that they are limited to achieve a ceasefire. "Why should I negotiate? The results (elections) were validated by the Constitutional Council. You are asked to recognize the victory of Ouattara. But it is not Gbagbo who has to recognize the victory of a candidate who lost the presidential elections" said the director.
For Alain, Gbagbo will not resign "no way" or pass the power to Ouattara "is not the winner of the election." The adviser said the rebellion led by Ouattara "objectively could not stop the advance of Ivorian army," so he needed "a boost of France." "Since September 2002, France has refused to recognize that there was a rebellion that attacked a sovereign state.
It is now clear that the French Government is the main supporter of the rebellion, "said Alain, who called for" respect for African institutions and individuals who embody. "Acknowledged that" the country is at war "and" divided into two " that "the election ended badly" but recognized institutions Gbagbo as the winner, so called "international institutions to calm the situation." "You have to open the path of dialogue in this crisis because the Ivorian population is paying the price, "he said.
