To understand the Ivorian crisis it is also important to understand how the crisis is portrayed and hence perceived by different actors and their followers.
An external reading of the crisis might place particular emphasis on the division between a disenfranchised Muslim North and the more affluent Christian and animist South.
This reading is confirmed by the principal political players, Alassane Ouattara, a Muslim from the North, and Laurent Gbagbo, an evangelical Christian from the South.
This reading is also favored by the Young Patriots (Jeunes Patriotes) who have painted the image of a rebellion dominated by Dioulas and foreigners in their vast majority Muslim. In order to help people in Glasgow to fully understand what is happening or has happened in Ivory Coast, bizarrely the Ivorian community in Glasgow deeply in their division after the presidential election has organised two events on Saturday June 11.
While Alassane Ouattara supporters under the Ivorio-Panafrican Association of Glasgow, have invited friends and sympathisers to celebrate what they called, " The Past, Present and Future of Ivory Coast, Together as one, the members of the Young patriots on their side have organised a conference to reflect about the " Insight into the Ivorian crisis".
In order to give their own side of the story about the Ivorian crisis, members of the Ivorian Popular Front, have invited from London, Mrs Djah Rachel, Marie France Gore and Sidonie. All of them were unanimously angry and upset against what France, Germany and Us have done to their country.
They said that " French and Us ambassadors in the Ivory Coast invited the chairman of the electoral commission to Ouattara`s headquarters, at l`Hotel du Golf where he solely declare him as a winner of the election..".
This was followed by a recorded video of CBS news it was clearly said that " France and Germany have organised a soft coup d`Etat in Ivory Coast". Some unverified videos footage were shown as a proof of atrocities that have been committed in the country.
It is said that both side have committed atrocities and they should accountable. Patriot are not yet ready to share a bare of chocolate with republican even they all said that they are going to work for the Unity of the country and unite Ivorian.
Those female political activists are calling for all Panafricanists and nationalists to rise against the imperialism in modern time and to join force to fight against the old agreement rule and cooperation between the West and Africa.
It is time they said, Africa must stand firm and speak with one voice. They have launched a revolutionary work pledging to support all those who want to work for the unity of the country even they are not yet ready for compromises.
On the other side of the city, Republican were celebrating the winning of the election and talking about the future of the country and how they would work for the unity. Time by now is and will be for both sides a great healer and it will be for a great benefit for all that Ivory Coast get back on tract.
