This has led to a political deadlock in that country.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Quattara controls the northern part of the country while Gbagbo is in firm grip of the south. The international community has been calling on Mr Gbagbo to stand down as president of the country and allow the will of the people to prevail. According to Mr Archer, the call for party youth to join the army came as a surprise to Ouattara\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cwe\u2019re very shocked that someone who has been president of this country for the past 10 years can call upon kids who are between 14 to 16 years who do not know anything about military or arms to go for a civil war. That shows something very important which is that all the people in the army have defected and when he sends people somewhere, 80 percent of the troops don\u2019t go, they just stay at home. He has lost military control, which is the last step of his departure\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Patrice Archer further noted that \u201cafter Gbagbo used these military people who were really close to him to kill people, he has no money to pay them and most of the people in his army, after hearing what the African Union said, have decided to backtrack and Gbagbos\u2019s actions shows a sign of someone who is hopeless\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_1162-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the original post: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Minister of Economic Infrastructure in Alassane Ouattara\u2019s government in Cote d\u2019Ivoire has described as desperate, calls by Laurent Gbagbo for young people in his party to join the country\u2019s army.
