Re: The Ivory Coast I love (none / 0)

A question: is Ouattara Burkinabais because he was really born there, because he has parents there, or because he gained passport as a dissident there? (The first seems his detractors' claim, but I read the last somewhere about two years ago - but I'd consider you more of an authority than either of my earlier sources.)

I will double check this. What his detractors also said is that he could not run for President as his parents were not both born on the "Ivorian" territory.
