Victory for Alassane Ouattara?

Victory for Alassane Ouattara?

As the UNFCC conference Cop16 is underway in Cancun Mexico, there is transformational action with results on Africa’s Ivory Coast where Alassane Ouattara has won the long awaited elections.

“Justice for the people, we are all, very, very happy,” said Sinan Kamagate a native of the  of the Village of Bolndoukou in the Ivory Coast and supporter of World Team Now.

Sinan Kamagate comes from a linage of activists and political leaders; his Father was Abdula Kamagate stood his Grandfather for independence and reform.  He explained, “Corruption has been the rule on the Ivory Coast for many years.  This event is the results of many groups coming together, and the voice of the people”.

Here too, the question is; whether the results will be binding, and whether sustainable justice can be for the Ivory Coast with these election results?  This is the same question at stake on the global arena, for binding global policy for international environmental justice.
