Côte d’Ivoire: What does France really want from President Alassane Ouattara’s camp?

The Ivorian Human Rights Observatory (OIDH) has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate alleged abuses linked to the camp of President Alassane Ouattara, even after the acquittal of former President Laurent Gbagbo. This move, coming just months before the presidential elections in Côte d’Ivoire, raises suspicions about its true motivations.

 

It seems less a matter of coincidence and more a calculated political maneuver.

 

There are growing indications of France’s influence behind this call. The involvement of the notorious French lawyer Robert Bourgi, a key player in the controversial Françafrique network, suggests a deeper agenda.

 

The speculation is that France is leveraging the ICC to apply pressure on Ouattara’s government with the goal of disrupting the political landscape ahead of the elections.

 

The timing, so close to the electoral period, hints at an attempt to weaken Ouattara’s position and potentially pave the way for a more compliant leadership aligned with France’s interests.

 

This scenario casts the ICC in a controversial light, suggesting it is being used as a tool for geopolitical games rather than as an impartial judicial body.

 

The court’s involvement at this critical juncture in Ivorian politics, some argue, aligns with the interests of Western powers rather than justice itself.

 

In this context, Ivorians must remain vigilant against potential foreign interference disguised as legal action.

 

The call for an ICC investigation, therefore, risks being seen as a move to destabilize the country under the guise of justice.

 

It is crucial for the people of Côte d’Ivoire to safeguard their sovereignty and resist any attempts to influence their democratic process from abroad.
