Abstract

This article - Opinion: Ivory Coast: The Moral Questions in General Guei's Presidential Dreams - was posted on africanewswire.com by E. Edwin Etieyibo at http://www.africanewswire.com/annews/categories/ivorycoast/story3745.shtml on August 16, 2000. The link no longer functions, and a copy of the article could not be provided for download because copyright permissions were unavailable. The article should be read in the context of General Guei losing power and fleeing Abidjan on October 24, 2000 in the aftermath of fraudulent campaign tactics, fraudulent announcement of electoral results, and an ersatz example of People's Power. The author noted that African leaders guilty of similar alleged corruption had not fared well.
