"In West Africa where, with its free movement of arms, mercenaries, capital and all types of trafficking, the factors for destabilisation are myriad and easily manipulated, the only responsible decision we can take is to back the legal authorities and the State machinery which alone can constitute a bulwark against the agents of anarchy and disorder. In Côte d'Ivoire, our role must clearly not be to undermine the lawful government which, whatever its weaknesses, embodies national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Any destabilisation of Côte d'Ivoire, given the economic and symbolic importance of this country to West Africa, could have a particularly devastating domino effect throughout the region. It is therefore crucial that all international actors involved, rather than playing on the myriad existing potential factors for division, as some have not hesitated to do in Congo, act with the utmost responsibility, refraining from promoting anything that could, from near or from afar, lead to a de facto balkanisation of Côte d'Ivoire and drag the country in a direction similar to that taken in Congo."@en1
