alassane ouattara

Alassane Dramane Ouattara is a political leader in Cte d'Ivoire. He represents northerners, mostly immigrant workers from Burkina Faso and Mali working in the coffee and cocoa industries. He is a Moslem. Having only one parent of Ivory Coast nationality (the other from Burkina Faso), he was disqualified from the 2000 presidential elections by a law quickly drafted and upheld by the Supreme Court, regarding dual parentage. This is a major factor in the Civil war in Cte d'Ivoire. When asked in an interview about Ouattara's nationality, Burkinab President Capt. Blaise Compaor responded, "As regards Mr. Alassane Ouattara's nationality, for us things are simple: he does not come from Burkina Faso, neither by birth, marriage, or naturalization. This man has been Prime Minister of Ivory Coast." Ouattara
