The Heads of the net<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever heard (or read) of Laurent Gbagbo? Maybe of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono? or perhaps of Manmohan Singh?\u00a0They are some of the top cited Heads of Government on the internet. Adding the citations of the all three politicians mentioned would total almost 15 million. A pretty number, isn’t it? Gbagbo has been president of Ivory Coast since 2000 but his\u00a0legitimacy\u00a0is being disputed. Yudhoyono is a retired\u00a0Indonesian Army general officer, and the current\u00a0President of Indonesia. And Singh is the\u00a014th and current\u00a0Prime Minister of the\u00a0Republic of India,\u00a0the only Prime Minister since\u00a0Jawaharlal Nehru to return to power after completing a full five-year term.\u00a0Probably these are not the names that are most cited on the TV news in Europe or in America but\u00a0definitely\u00a0they are amongst the most cited on the net (mostly by media).<\/p>\n

As you might expect, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is by very far the champion of the champions in mentions on the net. More than 622 million citations, which is more than the top 100 current Heads of Government combined.<\/p>\n

Within this list,\u00a0European\u00a0politicians represent a total of 47 million citations with the\u00a0Italian\u00a0Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi ahead. Certainly he is probably being more cited because of his personal life than for his political activity. Overall, and once again, Europe is behind America.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast tensions rise the citations on the internet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last\u00a0Wednesday, December 22, France urged its nationals in Ivory Coast (around 15,000)\u00a0to leave the country, as a crisis over disputed elections (held on November 28, the second round of presidential elections)\u00a0continued. The situation is getting worse over time and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned\u00a0that it could evolve into civil war.<\/p>\n

The election contest was held between Laurent Gbagbo, first elected president in 2000 on a five-year mandate, and Alassane Ouattara,\u00a0Prime Minister of C\u00f4te d’Ivoire\u00a0from November 1990 to December 1993.\u00a0The international community recognises his rival Alassane Ouattara as victor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

His name is Laurent Gbagbo and he is the President of Ivory Coast. He has more than 8.2 million citations on the net, what is to say that he is the 8th most cited Head of the government in the world on ciberspace.
