by land, on the night of April 2 to 3, 7 Transalls French army carrying a regiment of more than 700 Green Berets in the French Foreign Legion with new tanks, boxes of ammunition and weapons. The pretext used in the world is the recovery of French nationals living in Abidjan and the interior.

After an aerial ballet of helicopters Unicorn forces, transport and positioning of the rebel troops, the French Licorne force have returned to action by dropping dozens of bombs on the Residence of the Head of State, the Ivorian Radio and Television, with official reason as the destruction of heavy weapons and unspoken goal the assassination of the Head of State constitutionally elected and sworn in by the Constitutional Council, His Excellency President Laurent Gbagbo.

We were right to think that the denunciations of these military attacks by the international community have prompted France to put an end to his assassination attempt, but it is clear that France remains constant in its fatal project. Thus, Thursday, April 7, she decided, by the mouth of Mr. Alassane Ouattara, to set up a blockade of his official residence. Thus also the night of 8 to 9 April 2011 ballet Air force helicopters unicorn, transport and positioning of the rebel troops, dropping bombs on the residence of the Head of State have taken over finest.
Thursday, April 7, Mr. Alassane Ouattara made a speech to the nation as president and announced a package of measures and promises. We are familiar with his rantings.

This is the place to remind the world that under the Constitution and the Ivorian non-interference principle governing the member states of the UN, Mr Alassane Ouattara is neither elected nor by the Ivorian people invested Ivorian Constitutional Council, he was not under oath, therefore all these decisions are null and void.
The President of the Republic condemns the assassination attempt by the French army through the
air strikes.


The President of the Republic called the people to continue resistance to Stop the nth power grab.
The President of the Republic asked people to remain committed in the struggle for the liberation of the Coast
d'Ivoire and Africa.

The President of the Republic sympathizes with the suffering imposed on them by Alassane Ouattara and his terrorists. He knows that they suffer from lack of food, medicines, whether they live in fear and insecurity, and particularly in rural areas, people living hidden in the bush in hunger and cold.
The President of the Republic expresses its determination to continue the fight.

The President of the Republic has the firm conviction that the current tests and rubble, Côte d'Ivoire resurrected glorious, proud and prosperous.


May God bless Côte d'Ivoire.
Thank you.
