This mess was all created by French! They should have intervained at the
begining of the rebellion in september 2001. Now they are fighting against
our own government! And guess What, only the French official are deciding
what should be done and what should not be done..... What a shamed?

General News of Sunday, 07 November 2004Land Route from Ivory Coast To
Ghana Dangerous.....U.S. Warns of Travel to Ivory CoastWASHINGTON - The
government on Sunday warned Americans to avoid traveling to Ivory Coast
because of widespread violence in the West African nation.
Mobs roamed the streets of Abidjan, the capital, after Ivorian government
warplanes attacked targets in rebel-held cities in the north, including a
French peacekeeping outpost in which nine French troops and an American
consultant working for an aid group were killed.
Updating a travel warning issued June 18, the State Department urged that
all nonessential travel to Ivory Coast be scrubbed.
The warning said telephone communications were spotty with the northern
city of Bouake, which has been without electrical service since Thursday.
Many areas have no water, the warning said.
"There have been numerous and ongoing violent incidents in Abidjan that
have been directed against people of non-Ivorian appearance, specific
diplomatic missions and foreign military and international peacekeeping
operations," the department said.
"Anti-foreign attacks have resulted in serious injuries to persons and
property. Individuals have been pulled from vehicles, businesses and
schools entered, looted and burned, and families harassed."
The warning said land routes to neighboring Ghana were open but "too
dangerous at this time to consider crossing the border by road." After
fighting at Abidjan's airport, now controlled by French forces, all flights
remain canceled, the department said.
