While the Ivorian situation is very tense and troubled, Laurent Gbagbo's stubborn clinging to the presidency is getting pathetic. It reminds me of a two year-old child who is falling asleep on the couch, yet demanding that he is not tired and will not go to bed. Give it up, already. Everyone in the world knows you lost. Really. No one believes your sham CC. All I hope now is that everyone can keep it together and not use violence to oust Gbagbo. Everyone knew the transition from president to president was going to be difficult, but violence would be a horrendous solution. Patience is key.
Enjoy this gem of a picture with the President of the Independent Electoral Commission (guy to my right). He is very tiny. I almost wet my pants from fear during this interview considering it was little ole me talkin' the francais to one of the most important people in the country at the time. Following the election, he was on the news a lot. Super nerve wracking. Please note that seeing this suit hanging in my closet still gives me flashbacks and makes me break out into a sweat with how hot we were the entire time we were interviewing.
