The 83-year-old leader, installed in 2011 after a French-backed military intervention ousted former President Laurent Gbagbo, now seeks an unconstitutional fourth term by barring key opponents from October\u2019s election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">France, the former colonial ruler, continues to prop up Ouattara\u2019s regime, fearing the loss of its most loyal West African ally. Achy Ekissi, General Secretary of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Ivory Coast (PCRCI), stated,\u00a0<em>\u201cFrance pretends to urge Ouattara to step down, but in reality, it backs his dictatorship because it has no reliable replacement.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A History of Imperialist Meddling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Ouattara\u2019s rise was engineered by French imperialism. In 2011, French airstrikes bombarded the presidential palace, forcibly removing Gbagbo\u2014a leader with socialist and pan-Africanist leanings\u2014and installing Ouattara, a former IMF official. Gbagbo was later detained at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for nearly a decade before being acquitted of all charges, exposing the politically motivated nature of his prosecution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Now, Ouattara is replicating the same tactics used against him in the past. In the 1990s, he was barred from elections under laws requiring candidates to have Ivorian-born parents\u2014a rule designed to sideline opposition figures. Today, he manipulates electoral rules to exclude Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam, a former Credit Suisse CEO now leading the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast (PDCI-RDA).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fractured Opposition, Growing Resistance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The August 9 protest marked a rare moment of unity between Thiam\u2019s PDCI and Gbagbo\u2019s African Peoples\u2019 Party (PPA-CI), alongside trade unions and leftist groups. However, Ekissi warns that this alliance is temporary:\u00a0<em>\u201cOnce the ban on their candidacies is lifted, these factions will return to competing for power.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Workers and farmers, bearing the brunt of Ouattara\u2019s policies, joined the demonstrations. Atse D\u00e9sir\u00e9 of the General Confederation of Workers of Ivory Coast (CGT-CI) said,\u00a0<em>\u201cOuattara boasts of economic growth, but workers see none of it. Wages stagnate while prices soar, and foreign debt balloons.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Despite infrastructure projects, much of the wealth flows to foreign corporations and corrupt officials.\u00a0<em>\u201cLoans meant for rebuilding after France\u2019s 2011 destruction have been looted,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Ekissi added.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>France\u2019s Last Stronghold in West Africa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">With military juntas in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger expelling French troops, and Senegal\u2019s new government distancing itself from Paris, Ivory Coast remains a critical neocolonial outpost.\u00a0<em>\u201cIf Ouattara falls, France loses its last firm grip in the region,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Ekissi noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The protesters\u2019 demands\u2014free elections, living wages, and an end to French interference\u2014echo broader anti-imperialist struggles across Africa. As Ouattara clings to power, the resistance grows, fueled by decades of exploitation and the fight for true sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Follow us for more on global anti-imperialist movements.)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(We are now on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/onlinepeoplesnewscom\/\">Facebook<\/a> too as\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/onlinepeoplesnewscom )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tens of thousands flooded the streets of Ivory Coast\u2019s capital, Abidjan, demanding an end to President Alassane Ouattara\u2019s tightening grip on power.
