Condé - Ouattara, the community of destinies
For his part, President Alpha Condé submitted his candidacy for the next presidential election on Thursday.
For the Burkinabè newspaper
Wakat Sera
, Alpha Condé "
rushes
" towards his "
perilous third term
" as "
one of those bush trucks without brakes, which abound on the laterite tracks which connect the African villages
".
A third mandate that this colleague finds "
unconstitutional and conflicting at will
",
Wakat Sera
comparing Alpha Condé to Alassane Ouattara "
who opts, against all
odds , for this mandate too many which has never brought happiness to those who are there. rub
”.
Thus, "
the will of the god Alpha must be done
", denounces, in a flowery style, this daily newspaper in Ouagadougou, according to which, "
shame, disappointment, disenchantment, disillusion ... None of these words, and their synonyms, do are strong enough to express the sentiment of the Guinean people and Africans who had placed their hope in Alpha Condé to serve as a trigger for the democratic process, the real one, in Guinea
.

Condé - Ouattara?

could well be titled:" Alpha Condé and Alassane Ouattara, honors to horror

".
Macron - Ouattara, France "
very concerned
"
The Ivory Coast, precisely… Emmanuel Macron, this Friday at the Elysee Palace, receives the Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara.
Being recalled that in March, French President Macron hailed “
the historic decision
” of Alassane Ouattara to renounce running for a third term, considering that Côte d'Ivoire “led by
example
”, the Ivorian press hoisted gladly in the front page of today's meeting in Paris.
This is the case, across all sensibilities, of the newspapers
L'Héritage, Le Bélier
,
Le Mandat
,
Le Patriote, L'Expression, L'Essor, Today, Le Miroir, Le Jour, Fraternité Matin or even L'Inter. .
Referring to the subjects that will be discussed during this meeting, the latter daily, via the
Infodrome
site
, qualifies as “
burning
” that of “
Ouattara's candidacy for the presidential election in October 2020
” and laconically recalls that 'after the said candidacy for a third term, "
demonstrations took place in Abidjan and inside the country
" and that they left "
people dead and several wounded
".
For its part, the pan-African magazine
Jeune Afrique
reports that, "
in the entourage of the French president, it is an understatement to say that we are observing with a worried eye the rise of political and ethnic tensions in Côte d'Ivoire since the announcement of Ouattara's candidacy.
[…] It is out of the question for Paris that a new political crisis will destabilize this major partner, the economic heart of West Africa, where French investments are important.
Without forgetting that faced with the jihadist threat at the gates of the country, any vacillation at the top of the state would be cleverly exploited by Sahelian groups who are just waiting for it
.
"In
Jeune Afrique
, an"
Elysian source
"confesses:"
We are very concerned because no one, neither President Ouattara nor his political opponents, is moving in the right direction.
The general state of mind is not the right one on all sides
