Hundreds of village chiefs came from all over Cote d’Ivoire to take part in the investiture of the new village chief in the town of Mrs. Lawrence Gbagbo, the wife of the president. I loved this chief's Ashante Kente cloth robe, his gold leaf jewelry and symbols on his hat. This particular chief seemed very serious and thoughtful to me. He appeared to possess the wisdom implied by the saying about the Eye of the Elder. "What an old man sees sitting down, a young man cannot see standing up."
