"Madam President, the elections in Côte d’Ivoire have resulted in an unprecedented situation after both candidates in the presidential elections claimed victory and each appointed a prime minister. There is only one legitimate president: President Ouattara. I think that all political forces must respect the will of the people expressed in the result of the elections held on 28 November. There is all the more reason for this as the UN, the Electoral Commission and numerous European states have recognised the opposition leader as the rightful winner.
At the same time, it is deplorable that acts of intimidation were carried out against EU observers, resulting in the mission having to end. The political instability is already having a significant impact. The African Union recently decided to suspend the country from all the organisation’s activities. In addition, there is the risk of resumption of the civil war which took place in 2002.
Côte d’Ivoire can therefore make the choice between two paths: one which preserves democracy and continues the progress and the other which means isolation from the African community."@en1
