A question - opposition candidate Bob Akitani is claiming he won the recent election and that the election was rigged. It's going to take weeks or months to sort out what happened in the election - should we refer to the fact that there's some controversy, especially since the front page of en.wikipedia currently states unambiguously that Gnassingbe won the election?

It seems that his name is actually Faure Gnassingbé: "I, Faure Gnassingbe, elected president of the republic conforming to the laws of the republic, swear solemnly to respect and defend the constitution, and to loyally fulfill the highest duties assigned me by the country." [1] I suppose we should move the article? Everyking 13:21, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, probably should. Also I notice that the French wikipedia says he went to Georgetown, not Yale. The source for Yale is here, but I can't find any authority backing up Georgetown. Dbiv 20:11, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- I've read Yale today in Nice-matin. Probably from an AFP news ? - Ericd 22:09, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- There was an editorial in the Daily Telegraph in the last few days that read very like it used Wikipedia as a source - so watch out! There seems not to be a great amount of information on him from any other source. Dbiv 22:11, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
