With our special correspondent
In Ethiopia, this is Monday, January 31 that ends on 16th African Union summit. Nicolas Sarkozy, yesterday in Addis Ababa, as President of the G8 and G20, has been an advocate of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights. And he again, defended the expansion to Africa, the group of permanent members of UN Security. The french president also emphasized that Africa had not failed in economic matters, but instead she had made progress "remarkable." A speech delivered at odds with one in Dakar in July 2007.

reactions have also been generally positive. I prefer Sarkozy Addis Ababa, said a minister of the jeering West Africa. The speech by the leader of the French state was full of formulas to the glory of this continent, too often caricatured as him. Africa has not failed in the economic field, hammered Nicolas Sarkozy, who also noted that progress had been made in good governance and democracy. Only downside, terrorism in the Sahel, the war in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and of course the Ivorian crisis on which Nicolas Sarkozy was relatively moderate. On the substance and form, perhaps, not to offend an important ally, a member of the G20 like him, Jacob Zuma of South Africa which supports Laurent Gbagbo. The AU has appointed a new president by consensus for the next 12 months, in the person of the President of Equatorial Guinea Teodoro Obiang Nguema. He succeeds Malawian Bingu wa Mutharika. speech is a resolutely optimistic light years from that of Dakar, where Nicolas Sarkozy regretted that the African man has not returned in history. On the Ethiopian Highlands, the French president has celebrated a strong Africa:
"
Ladies and gentlemen, you are stronger than you think. Affirm your weight in international forums, and the world will have to take into account the voices of Africans .
Nicolas Sarkozy, French President Support Tunisians and Egyptians
"France stands with friendship and respect along with the Tunisians and Egyptians in this period absolutely crucial. "

A coarse assembly: the portrait of Sarkozy has replaced that of Ben Ali / Elysee
(Paris)
During his state visit to Tunisia in late April 2008, the French president has carefully avoided meeting with President Ben Ali . At least that comes out of the gallery devoted to this trip presented by the official website of Elysium: the former dictator is not on any of the 23 slides that pass ... A notable absentee on all these photos: President Ben Ali has yet rubbed constantly during the three-day visit, his French counterpart. An exception is on the cover page of the slideshow, a still photo (see above). It shows a crowd of cheering Tunisian exhibiting in the foreground, a sign "Long live the Tunisian-French friendship." Other "protesters" waving large photos. In the foreground is that of Nicolas Sarkozy. In the background, we recognize that of Ben Ali. Under Sarkozy, Ben Ali! In reality, the pictures represented by the crowd waved Ben Ali. But
that of the first plan was grossly masked by were plated image of French President instead of that of the deposed dictator.
Bravo (bad) artists! Zapped Ben Ali. Leaving only the eternal friendship between France and Tunisia ... Without anticipating the future president of the French Republic could at least, on his official website, analyze the present (the events of Egypt). But, as before, critics of Soviet propaganda, it demonstrates a real know-how: reinventing the past!

The France of 2011 is she returned the dark years of Stalinism? This time, according to the purges and political trials, the faces "politically inconvenient" disappeared from official photographs. visiting the official website of Elysium begs the question seriously.

All visual aspects of the presidential trip spread out before our eyes: the crowd scenes, giving a bouquet to the "first lady" Tunisian-French Economic Forum, meeting with Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi (still working today ' hui), visit veterans, troops passed in review ...

For the first time, Facebook describes how, at the height of the protests that led to the ouster of Bin Ali, he has tried to lay hands on the identifiers of users of the famous Tunisian social network.

What Does A Low Soft Cervix Mean
Abidjan .

Posted Thursday, January 27, 2011 Today, a major competitor who does not hide its ambitions in Africa: China. Behind the dispute over succession to the presidency of the Republic of Ivory Coast is played, in fact, influence the conflict between the West and China but also with other emerging powers like India. It is beyond all dispute over control of natural resources of this country and this new Eldorado oil that is the Gulf of Guinea. Across the continent, French, British and Americans are losing markets to new partners (China, India, etc..). After the protest in the Arab world and Latin American against the oil interests of Western firms, the West does not want to waste the African continent is the only area that remains subject.
Western political circles are thus Laurent Gbagbo who is the Africa that seeks to evade the Western control to assert its sovereignty while Alassane Ouattara, "friend" of the French (especially by Sarkozy), former Deputy Director IMF, represents the ideal manager (because liberal) of Cote d'Ivoire. He is on the line interlocutors appreciated in Washington, London, Paris and Brussels. We are witnessing
the eternal conflict between pro and anti, which was exteriorized between Lumumba and Mobutu. Congo, the West had used substantial resources to liquidate Lumumba and installed Mobutu in power because it tooth and nail defending the interests of firms and Western powers. The fate of Côte d'Ivoire is likely to resemble that of the Congo if we are not careful. Gbagbo, as Lumumba, is seen as a dangerous nationalist while Ouattara, like Mobutu, is the man opening the Ivorian market for corporate interests and foreign nations. The decor of the 1960 Congolese is planted in Côte d'Ivoire. Formerly Congo, the international community, based on UNOCI (UN in Congo), was unanimous on the physical liquidation of Lumumba, the same way, in the case of Côte d'Ivoire the same international community, relying on the UN in Côte d'Ivoire, is unanimous on the liquidation of Gbagbo.
The conflict in Côte d'Ivoire is an example of the revival of the Cold War, that is to say
of the war between Western and Eastern African territory and interests outside the continent
. But is that Africans understand this?

ABIDJAN (Reuters) - The head of state of Malawi, Bingu wa Mutharika, President of the African Union (AU), visited Ivory Coast on Tuesday to hear the views the two camps before the summit scheduled Pan this week in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). "I think the problem will be resolved by the Ivorian population of this country," he has merely stated.
That same day, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has expressed his disagreement with the UN decision to recognize as legitimate president Alassane Ouattara.
He wishes, according to his spokesman, an investigation of the AU on the presidential election on November 28.
The Ivorian electoral commission, certified by the UN, said Alassane Ouattara won the second round of presidential elections. This result was overturned by the Constitutional Council, which gave Gbagbo the winner after invalidation of hundreds of thousands of ballots in areas favorable to Alassane Ouattara.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), European Union and the United States gave their support Alassane Ouattara and Laurent Gbagbo asked to leave power, which the President Outgoing refused.
The official position of the AU is that Gbagbo must step aside for Alassane Ouattara.

After a meeting with Yoweri Museveni, South African President Jacob Zuma last week ruled that the results were announced in Côte d'Ivoire showed the "contradictions".
Angola, whose ambassador in Abidjan was the only one to attend the swearing in of Laurent Gbagbo, is also perceived as a weak link in African unity on the Cote d'Ivoire.

Their bodies have not yet been formally identified. What is certain is that the police opened fire, although it is still too early to say whether the two French have committed suicide or were killed.
Among the questions that remain unanswered as well: the origin of the stock of weapons, ammunition and explosives held by the couple, and he intended to use this arsenal. Since last Friday, the two fugitives had escaped the large police presence in place to find them. The two French
