"Mr President, nine French soldiers killed and 38 injured; 15 000 civilians in danger, and unacceptable violence. These figures reveal the disastrous consequences of the French intervention in Côte d'Ivoire. France’s role has proved ambiguous, as the whole of its African policy now is. What is the lesson to be drawn from these grave events in Côte d'Ivoire? Global anarchy in the area of migration leads to grave dangers on which terrorism feeds. The Arab-Islamic world is in a state of high agitation, and the West is a privileged target for radical Islamists embarked upon the conquest of our continent, as demonstrated by the development of networks in Spain, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, France or the Netherlands. Not wanting to regulate migratory flows constitutes a danger to the future of Europe. Like it or not, immigration is the key problem of the new century. It is time to correct a number of drastic mistakes and to think in terms of a balanced and realistic project of North-South cooperation that respects everyone’s identities, territories, cultures and religions. The only reasonable course for the European and African continents lies in close cooperation. Europeans and the French need to know that they have everything to gain from the success of better cooperation, for the balanced development of Africa will help loosen the threatening stranglehold of migration and help reverse the flows. It is with this aim in mind that we propose another North-South dialogue based upon confidence, honesty and the protection of our reciprocal vital interests. To paraphrase President Mbeki’s favourite quotation, it is time that something new in this area came from Europe."@en1
