[Maureen Therese Anderson]

Au secours.  By chance does anyone subscribe electronically to Le Monde
Diplomatique?  (The paid subscription version.)  I'm looking for the
following article, from the most recent dispatch (October 2000).  Either
English or la version originale would be greatly appreciated.

merci mille fois,

CULT OF A DEAD DICTATOR

Ivory Coast democracy deferred *

by TIEMOKO COULIBALY

     Ivory Coast will elect a new president on 22 October. But the

     disqualification of the main opposition leader Alassane Ouattara -

     and other contestants - on the grounds that they do not fulfil the

     country's nationality requirements makes a mockery of the

     democratic process. This latest debacle shows to what extent Ivory

     Coast's political life has been affected by the legacy of

     Houphouët-Boigny.
