Mr Gbagbo himself, who was very friendly and very pleasant and who, during a meal which we were invited to in the presidential palace itself, explained to us his view of the problem, he said things in the presence of many of us who were there – no less than 10 or 15 people – which I believe do not point in the right direction, such as, for example, that he had to strengthen his army and that he had plans to buy certain military materials in the countries of the East. We believe that this is the completely wrong direction.
M.? Gbagbo lui-même, qui s’est montré très aimable et qui, lors d’un repas auquel nous étions conviés au palais présidentiel, nous a expliqué sa conception du problème. Il a déclaré certaines choses, en la présence de nombre d’entre nous, qui assistions ? ce repas? - pas moins de 10 ou 15? personnes? - dont je crois qu’elles ne vont pas dans la bonne direction, telles que, par exemple, son intention de renforcer l’armée et ses projets d’acheter certains matériels militaires dans les pays de l’Est.
