Independent Electoral Commission and the UN acting as certifier, President Laurent Gbagbo has lost the presidential election, as recognized by the normal course covers national and international observers.
Refusing to relinquish power he proclaimed elected president by a constitutional council to orders, abusing his power and in violation of Article 64 of the Electoral Code, was substituted for the Ivorian people for him to choose a president in his place.
Led by African countries, this attempt to force passage is disapproved by the international community, almost in its entirety, condemned Mr. Gbagbo and Ouattara recognizes as the legitimate president of Cote d'Ivoire.
In response to this outcry against the confiscation of power by Laurent Gbagbo, it is resisting against those who ask him to leave office in stirring up public opinion in the eyes of which he wishes to impersonate a resistance that opposes the neo-colonialism, which would defend the independence and national sovereignty. He impersonated a Pan-Africanist or a socialist anti-imperialist.
The proclamation of itself as extending the living symbol of resistance and pan-African anti-imperialist who resists neo-colonization of Africa, is only the manipulation and populist discourse. It is obvious to any observer who knows the Ivory Coast and was able to see firsthand the misconceptions that exist between these incantatory rhetoric and the reality of poverty in which Gbagbo and his supporters abandoning their own countrymen, while he and his clan live in shameless luxury that is far from the life of someone claiming to be a revolutionary serving a popular cause.
The paradoxes found in the statements of Gbagbo, added to the circumstantial nature of the migrant and his speech shows how Gbagbo's speech is a speech variable geometry that fits the circumstances, even support one thing and its opposite.
Indeed, it is ironic that Laurent Gbagbo, who supports domestic political discourse of national preference, and that goes against some of his fellow African immigrants living in Ivory Coast or other cons countrymen portrayed as unclean, is he who at the same time wants to present itself as the defender of the strong African cause against the West, described as colonialist or imperialist.
The character of exploitation and manipulation of speech is obvious. Opportunism speaker's hand because it draws a moving speech to take hostage a certain class of people he uses as a shield in his scheme of usurpation of power, for the purpose of personal enjoyment.
He manages to make people believe he is handling it is fighting along the meaning of their beliefs, the worse it is given a symbolic value in presenting himself as someone who crystallizes the strength of any one race against another, described as exploitative.
By using this discursive strategy, he managed to meet expectations by posing as the voice of an identity discourse circulating pre-existing dominant that structures the self-representations of some African and Afro- descendants who believe they have a revenge to take against the colonial past and slavery in the West.
As much as he manipulates the ultranationalist identity discourse to mobilize membership to his personal cause internally, as he manipulates the Pan-African identity discourse on the external front, contrasting blacks to whites, to serve as allies of the first cities in its strategy of confiscation of undemocratic power.
The objective is that they put pressure on Western opinion by interpreting any reaction as interference of imperialists and white slavery in African affairs, which will result in inhibiting any possibility of reaction of Western powers against the dictatorial regime that wants to impose on the Ivorian people.
