"The attempted coup of 19 September has plunged the people of Côte d’Ivoire into utter confusion, and has led to acts of violence such as the demise of the Home Affairs Minister and the death of General Gueï. The support expressed by the European Parliament for the democratic institutions of Côte d’Ivoire and its president in the wake of the attempted coup, does not mean that Laurent Gbagbo has been given carte blanche to resolve the situation as he sees fit. On the contrary, he must listen and put in place ceasefire agreements called for by the regional ECOWAS mission. There can be no military solution to this crisis; the only option that can be contemplated is a political solution involving all opposing parties. The Côte d’Ivoire President must now embark on the policy that he made a commitment to follow after his election, the backbone of which was the policy of national reconciliation and the fight against ethnic and religious divisions. In the light of events in Côte d’Ivoire, there is a genuine risk of balkanisation and it is feared that the whole region will slide into chaos. One quarter of the population of Côte d’Ivoire is made up of immigrants from West Africa, of which some countries, such as Liberia, are engaged in civil war."@en1
