Gbagbo Warns Attempt to Remove Him Could Spark War in Ivory Coast
VOA News 27 December 2010

Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo delivers speech in which he insists he remains the country's true president, in his first televised address since a violent political crisis erupted over disputed vote results.

Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo says any attempt to use force to remove him from power could start a war in West Africa.

Gbagbo told France's Le Figaro newspaper Sunday that no one can trample on Ivory Coast's laws and constitution.

Both Gbagbo and political rival Allassane Ouattara claim they won last month's presidential election. The international community is recognizing Ouattara as the winner, and the West African regional bloc ECOWAS is threatening to use force to get Gbagbo to leave.

Nope. They can always look for world class politicians from S'pore to help run their country. All problems sure solved. But they have to Pay and Pay.
