In an exclusive wide-ranging interview, Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara spoke to FRANCE 24’s Marc Perelman in Abidjan. Ouattara expressed his “disgust” at recent revelations over African migrants being sold as slaves in Libya, demanding that those guilty of these crimes be brought to justice by the International Criminal Court. He said the issue would be on the agenda at the Africa-EU Summit that Ivory Coast will host in Abidjan next week.
The Ivorian president spoke about recent events in Zimbabwe that saw the ouster of Robert Mugabe, called for dialogue in Togo and for the first time denied any involvement in the failed coup in neighbouring Burkina Faso. Ouattara also addressed domestic politics in home in Ivory Coast.

The AU-EU summit which is only 5 years old is part of a broad western response to China's entry into Africa. BBC recently announced $Billion plus expansion into Africa to position itself in the information space, there is also increasing western military bases in the continent under the guise of fighting terrorism, ironically it was western nations actions in Libya that help spread weapons and terrorism in the region. From Wikileaks we learn the true ambitions of the west in Africa, and it does not vary much from that of their predecessors, only now it is done with smiles and a side serving of hypocrisy. Africa should instead continue looking east, the western mindset is hopelessly trapped in their imperial past, and their actions across the Middle East is a proof. A strong Chinese presence and trade in Africa will more benefit Africans, the west prefers strong arm dictators they can corrupt and get a sweet deal with, that is why they destroyed Libya as per Wikileaks.
