It is indeed true that the adamant fly joins the corpse into the grave. Gbagbo wanted to be everlasting president for La cote d'ivoire. Why did he allow election to be held ? Why did he allow other candidates to contest ? Gbagbo never liked Ivory Coast's first President's policy of ruling the nation for life but this Professor of History forgot that . GBAGBO , your action has caused loss of lives and untold hardship to many Ivorians . You are indeed a disgrace to the human race . Be advised next time!

what has just happen to Gbagbo should be an eye opener to the rest of the seat tight presidents in Africa and they should adjust as far as elections are concern in their countries.

Neocolonialism is unavoidable. They are provide us with-food-drinks-clothes-shelters-drugs and so on. They are possess technology-finances-ownerships what do you want me to add.
Let us die with our pain. They are right because they are the strongest. Just chat up and observe.
