Don Melo, a spokesman for Gbagbo, said: The negotiation conditions of Gbagbo camp include agreeing to Ouattara as president, and at the same time demanding to ensure the security and legitimate rights and interests of Gbagbo camp and its family.
"The fate of a country is played by foreign countries like playing cards," Gbagbo described the current situation in an interview with French television on the 5th. Although some media claimed that Gbagbo's presidential residence was under the armed control of Ouattara, he still refused to recognize former Prime Minister Ouattara as the elected president.
At present, the negotiations between the two sides have been going on for more than 12 hours, and there is still no substantive progress. Counselor Jia Guiling of the Embassy of China in C? te d 'Ivoire said in an interview with News Horizon that although Gbagbo had unilaterally declared a ceasefire, gunshots could still be heard in the economic capital Abidjan.
Jia Guiling: From the 4th, the joint regiment and the French unicorn troops attacked Gbagbo's arsenal and his barracks from the air until the morning of the 5th. Then the foreign ministers of Gbagbo on both sides spoke, and the two sides were negotiating. Then the government forces unilaterally announced a ceasefire. The information that began to be released was that the two sides were talking about it, but how and to what extent they talked about it did not disclose any news. Between 10 and 12 local time in the morning, they announced a ceasefire on 12, but we got the news on the afternoon of the 5th that Gbagbo rejected the written commitment of the United Nations and France to give up the presidency and recognize Ouattara's election. At 4 pm local time, we heard gunshots outside.
Zhang Yongpeng, an associate researcher at the west asia and africa Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that it is unlikely that power sharing can be achieved through negotiations, and Gbagbo may not escape the fate of exile or sanctions.
Zhang Yongpeng: In this case, the possibility of reaching a power-sharing regime is not great, so in the face of this situation, Gbagbo's greatest possibility is that the opposition will not give him any chance, or that he is in exile. This is actually a very good choice. The second is to stay at home and wait for the trial. If Ouattara's so-called democratically elected president can be recognized by the African Union, African countries and the African Union soon after he takes office, it can also be recognized by the international community.
In the past day, Ouattara's armed forces launched a "general attack" on the Gbagbo camp in the economic capital Abidjan. At the same time, the United Nations Operation in C? te d 'Ivoire and French troops dispatched helicopters to attack Gbagbo's armed forces and destroy heavy weapons.
Reuters quoted witnesses as saying that thousands of Ouattara militants entered Abidjan by car from the north, carrying assault rifles and rocket launchers with heavy machine guns. Gunshots and explosions can be heard throughout the city, including the direction of the presidential palace.
Elizabeth Bierce, spokeswoman of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said in Geneva on the 5th that the current humanitarian situation in C? te d 'Ivoire is very worrying. He said that due to traffic jams, medical supplies cannot reach Abidjan at present, local medical supplies are in short supply and public facilities are damaged.
This kind of worry has been confirmed in the mouth of local Chinese. The QQ signature of Mr. Zhang, a Chinese in Abidjan, once said that "the water stopped on the fourth day and the war began, and there were several bullet holes in the glass."
Zhang: April 5th is the fourth day that we stopped water supply here. At about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, I don't know which side of the armed forces shot at our residential building. We found eight bullet holes in the house. Fortunately, no one was shot. However, a colleague who lived on another floor was hit three times at home, and one of the shrapnel hit an elbow of a China. He can't go out for treatment at present. Under the guidance of Dr. China, the injury was temporarily stable. The embassy also actively contacted the Red Cross, the United Nations and the French Licorne force. Later, the injured China will go to the French military camp with the Licorne force for treatment.
Mr. Zhang's constituency is TREICHIVILLE, which is located in the south of Abidjan. Yesterday, his home was attacked for the first time since the civil war in C? te d 'Ivoire. The recording mentioned China people who were injured by stray bullets. Thanks to the efforts of the embassy and local authorities, the injury has been controlled.
The war obviously hurt civilians. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said: Russia intends to investigate the legality of the use of force by United Nations peacekeepers in C? te d 'Ivoire.
With the cooperation of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Kosovo and the French Licorne force, Ouattara's armed forces seem to have won the final victory. Mr. Zhang, a local Chinese, believes that managing social security will become the primary problem facing the new government.
Zhang: Gbagbo's announcement of surrender is an important step towards peace. Since the fierce fighting between the two sides, there have been many incidents of beating, smashing and looting in the streets. Many shops, supermarkets and foreigners' homes were robbed, and everyone felt very uneasy. If the new government comes to power, its primary problem will be social security to prevent beating, smashing and looting. On the afternoon of 30th, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1975 on C? te d 'Ivoire with a vote of 15, demanding that all parties in C? te d 'Ivoire immediately stop violence against civilians, urging Gbagbo to step down immediately and imposing sanctions on Gbagbo and his advisers.
Both the United Nations and France claim that former Ivorian President Gbagbo is about to hand over power to former Prime Minister Ouattara. The three parties are currently negotiating on this.
An internal UN document seen by Reuters on 5th shows that Gbagbo has surrendered. However, an anonymous UN official later said that Gbagbo did not surrender, but expressed his willingness to surrender and asked the United Nations for protection.
The French side said that Gbagbo is expected to give up power soon.
French Foreign Minister Juppe told the French parliament in Paris on the 5 th: "We are about to persuade him (Gbagbo) to give up power."
He said that Gbagbo's people are negotiating with UN officials and French Ambassador to C? te d 'Ivoire Jean-Marc Simon.
Ahua Don Melo, a spokesman for the Gbagbo government who participated in the negotiations, said that the parties concerned are continuing negotiations.
Milo said: "Some details are being negotiated. Gbagbo has not signed any agreement at present. "
According to internal UN documents, fighting between Abidjan, the economic capital of C? te d 'Ivoire, and other regions stopped on the 5th. The generals in C? te d 'Ivoire asked the UN peacekeeping forces to protect the soldiers who supported Gbagbo and confiscate their weapons.
But a western diplomat said that sporadic gunfire could still be heard in the suburbs of Abidjan.
On the morning of the 4th, with the cooperation of the United Nations and the French army, Ouattara's troops began to attack Abidjan, which progressed smoothly and surrounded the presidential residence of Gbagbo. According to the United Nations, Gbagbo proposed a ceasefire after being surrounded by Ouattara's troops. He is currently hiding in the bunker of the official residence.
On the 5th, Gbagbo said in an interview with French television that he refused to accept France's request to recognize Ouattara as the democratically elected president.
Negotiations on Gbagbo's transfer of power have broken down, and the civil war in C? te d 'Ivoire is still expected to end.
C? te d 'Ivoire is on the brink of civil war.
International Online Report (Reporter Jin in Nigeria): French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe announced on the 6th that the negotiations between the United Nations and France on the handover of former Ivorian President Gbagbo's regime have broken down. Public opinion generally believes that despite the breakdown of the talks, the civil war in C? te d 'Ivoire is expected to end if the next round of talks can be held successfully, given that the large-scale military confrontation between the warring parties has stopped.
Juppe told the French Parliament on the 6th that representatives of the Gbagbo camp had several hours of talks with former Prime Minister Ouattara on the 5th, but the talks failed because Gbagbo insisted on refusing to give up the presidential power. Earlier, Juppe had announced that the military confrontation in C? te d 'Ivoire had ended, the warring parties had ceased fire, and negotiations began immediately. The negotiations mainly focused on how to let Gbagbo hand over power and recognize former Prime Minister Ouattara as the President of C? te d 'Ivoire.
In fact, the negotiations began with the military victory of former Prime Minister Ouattara. Ouattara forces launched a general attack on the southern region controlled by Gbagbo on the 28th of last month, and captured Yamoussoukro, the political capital of central China, on the 30th. On the 30th, they took control of San Pedro, the world's largest cocoa export port in southwest China, with lightning speed, and then marched in and surrounded the economic capital Abidjan. On the morning of April 4, with the cooperation of the United Nations and the French army, Ouattara's troops began to launch a general attack on Abidjan, which went well and surrounded it.
In this case, Philippe Mungu, chief of staff of the national defense and security forces loyal to Gbagbo, said on the 5th that his troops had "stopped" the armed exchange of fire with former Prime Minister Ouattara because some strongholds and strategic places in Abidjan were bombed by the French army, and he also asked the troops of the United Nations Operation in C? te d 'Ivoire (MINUCI) to "cease fire". According to the United Nations, after being surrounded by Ouattara's troops, Gbagbo also expressed his willingness to surrender and asked the United Nations for protection. However, Gbagbo refused to recognize Ouattara as the President of C? te d 'Ivoire and to sign all relevant documents.
Although the talks on the transfer of power by former President Gbagbo broke down, Ouattara's army won a military victory with the support of the United Nations and the French army. Gbagbo has no barriers to rely on in C? te d 'Ivoire, and he can only hide in the underground bunker in Abidjan to carry out sporadic resistance. It is worth noting that after the United Nations and France failed to persuade Gbagbo to declare surrender and give up power through negotiations, the armed forces supporting Ouattara launched a "final attack" on Gbagbo's official residence in Abidjan on the morning of the 6th, and Gbagbo was unable to fight back militarily.
In addition, Gbagbo has been passive in the external environment. After the 20 10 presidential election, the Independent Electoral Commission of C? te d 'Ivoire declared Ouattara the winner, and the Constitutional Council of the country declared Gbagbo the winner, and then the two sides were sworn in as presidents. The United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and other international organizations recognized Ouattara as president and condemned Gbagbo's refusal to step down. On April 5, even the African Union, which opposed the military intervention of the United Nations and France in C? te d 'Ivoire, issued an announcement urging Gbagbo to step down and recognize Ouattara as the President of C? te d 'Ivoire. On the same day, US President Barack Obama issued a statement at the White House saying that in order to end the violence in C? te d 'Ivoire and avoid more bloodshed, Gbagbo must "step down immediately" and ordered those who fought for him to lay down their weapons. Obama said that if the fighting continues, there will be more suffering and peace and prosperity in C? te d 'Ivoire will be further delayed.
Analysts believe that at present, Gbagbo has no power to resist the trend of the end of the civil war. For him, there is no better choice than negotiation. At present, Gbagbo, who is 65 years old, can only hide in underground bunkers to delay time in order to gain more benefits after the transfer of power. After the breakdown of the first round of negotiations, the two sides may hold the next round of negotiations soon. When the negotiations reach an agreement, the civil war in C? te d 'Ivoire is expected to end.
