LAURENT GBAGBO, HANG THE PIG UPON CAPTURE!

Icheoku says those who make peaceful handover impossible make violent ouster inevitable and so it is that the hold-over former president Laurent Gbagbo will soon have his fate determined, albeit cruelly. Reports reaching Icheoku has it that the embattled former president has been encircled by the liberating republican army loyalist of the legitimate president elect Quattara. One report even have it that he has since fled from the presidential palace to some non-discreet undisclosed location.

Icheoku's position is that when finally he is caught, he should be tried for his crimes against the humanity that call Ivory Coast home, especially for the over four hundred Ivoriens that have lost their lives in the democracy struggle. Without a doubt, he will be convicted and hopefully hanged alongside his wife Simone for refusing his stepping down. African dictators are all alike and not even the fate which befell Idi Amin, Charles Taylor etc was of any persuasive influence on this wanna-be sit-tight leader Gbagbo. Icheoku says, just hang him like a dog upon eventual capture! There is nothing to negotiate as Gbagbo lost every iota of negotiating chances when he rebuffed every plea to accept defeat and hand over government. Gbagbo thought that he could bluff his way through and at worst case scenario secure a power-sharing arrangement like in Zimbabwe and Kenya but the power hungry gestapo miscalculated and like Saddam Hussein is now hiding in an underground crawl space. Gbagbo has shed thousands of innocent Ivorien peoples blood and he cannot escape justice. Just try him and hang him like Saddam Hussein of Iraq - the ugly end fate which awaits all deaf and dumb dictators. Better still, hang him alongside with his wife Simone so that they will become African version of Romania's Nikolai Ceausescu and wife, Elena!
