Présidentielle en Côte d’Ivoire : Ecarté de la course, Tidjane Thiam poursuit ses chimères en Occident
The weather is not good at the PDCI-RDA. Dark clouds are gathering in the sky of this party dear to Henri Konan Bédié. Barring a cataclysm, the political party will not participate in next month's presidential election. Its candidate, Tidjane Thiam, was rejected by the Constitutional Council. The institution simply rejected his candidacy on the grounds that he was not registered on the electoral roll.
Meeting with François Hollande
On August 22, a few weeks before the Constitutional Council's decision, Mr. Thiam met with former French President François Hollande in Paris.
The two men had "constructive discussions on peace, fraternity and the organization of an inclusive, transparent and peaceful presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire."
After Paris, the international financier headed to Washington, where he met with the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for West Africa at the State Department, Williams B. Stevens. The two men discussed democracy and stability in Côte d'Ivoire.
Meeting with several members of the US Congress
The PDCI-RDA leader then met with Representative Joyce Marie Beatty, former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, at the United States Congress. The two leaders discussed "transparent and inclusive elections (in Côte d'Ivoire), the defense of freedoms, and the rejection of intimidation."
Following Ms. Beatty, Tidjane Thiam met with Jimmy Patronis, another member of the U.S. Congress. They discussed economic issues and reiterated that political and regional stability is key to economic prosperity, trade, and investment in Côte d'Ivoire.
The former Credit Suisse boss concluded his visit to the US Congress with an audience with Representative James E. Clyburn. The two discussed the need for "free, inclusive elections without voter suppression, which are the foundation of a strong democracy."
This activity by the PDCI-RDA president in the West is certainly part of his desire to inform international opinion about recent political developments in his country, particularly the removal of opposition heavyweights from the electoral roll. He wants "immediate international pressure" on the government in Abidjan.
The wine is drawn
Clearly, Mr. Thiam is convinced that he can still change the course of events, even though the wine has already been drawn. Barring a cataclysm, the elections will take place on October 25 in Côte d'Ivoire without him. To think that pressure from the international community can help him get back into the race for the election or simply cancel it is, in all sincerity, to pursue unattainable chimeras.

*Des chimieres * un journalist qui informe ne devrait pas dire cela .
titre insultant , partisan peu respectueux....seneweb ne devrait pas le reprendre mais comme ils sont arabisants ils comprennent meme pas....
Tidjane, quittes dans ça!!! le front se passe sur le terrain ivoirien pas en Occident.
Il sait ce qu'il fait et pourquoi. Dans ce monde, il y a des «Veilleurs» Des «Eye-Tech»....
Pourquoi « chimère «
Article insultant et partisan en effet
Titre incorrect et irrespectueux. Article partisan et très peu professionnel. Beaucoup de légèreté dans l’écriture.
Ouattara qui brigue illégalement au moins un 4ème mandat à son âge, peut-il être plus ivoirien que Tidjane Thiam ?
