Looks like a poisoned chalice. Anyhow, RAO is a veteran of many riots including "peaceful demonstrations". I think AU knew he was the only guy who couldn't throw away such an opportunity to chalk up credentials of international mediation.

Much as I would like our compatriot to succeed in this noble mission, it is my considered opinion that he is not doing enough homework to understand why the two opposing parties are digging in deeper by day. The situation is getting very delicate each day and if a settlement is not realized soonest, it could degenerate into another civil war. Do I need to remind you that it is still fresh in the minds of Gbagbo's supporters that RAO is pro-Outtara.

@njore, @skabz, Raila has been sent by AU which is already biased towards Ouattara

gbagbo and his supporters do not really appreciate RAO as a mediator on the basis that he was involved in a similar dispute not long ago, which took other personnel to arbitrate.

RAOs mediation terms are for gbagbo to step down and disappear from the limelite...the question from gbagbos is, is he (RAO) telling him to do something he (RAO) himself did not do? next, RAO is already bent towards ouattara and is thereforwe not neutral which makes gbagbo mad...next RAO has expressed turning to military action if the mediation does not yield any fruits. this makes the gbagbos even more mad...

imho, RAO should just throw in the towel and urge the AU to send neutral mediators...after all he has more problems at home which requires his attention...
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...

some truth there, remember by contrast how much we looked forward to Annan, and literaly didnt want him to go until the principal Mpigs declared a truce.

i keep getting the feeling that that issue of the 3m Burkinabe immigrants in key to understanding Outarra's huge support...its like the bedrock of Outtara's votes/ support came from the Burkinabe who the ordinary Ivorians don't like and therefore perceive as a Burkinabe preso coming to run their (ivorians) country. its like a tug of war between hosts and immigrant communities. Just a thought.

And it happens these Burkinabes and other reional immigrants are citizens under CI's constitution and had a right to vote.

I don't like Gbagbo. I also don't like Ouattara. And I didn't like the AU's idea of mediation (Did the AU really want a solution?), and most importantly, I don't like the idea of military intervention.
