judge in the capital, Abidjan, confirmed that former prime minister
Alassane Dramane Ouattara, the leader of the opposition Rally for

Didier Ratsiraka and Marc Ravalomanana, mayor of the capital,
Antananarivo. Despite the ruling, however, both men declared themselves
president and introduced their Cabinets to an impoverished populace,
which they encouraged to take to the streets in support of their
respective governments.
