 Dear Abdoulie,
 Thanks for wishing us well during these uncertain times.  It is indeed
 unfortunate that the jewel of West Africa continues to experience political
 instability making Cote d'Ivoire a less attractive business address.
 There appears to be a stalmate between the military Ruling Council and the
 young Corporal Kone and his officers. As it usually the case in situations
 like this, the list of grievences change with time. The muniteers, according
 to Corporal Kone, are demanding not only money, but decent accomodation and
 more importantly, they are fighting against continued "injustice".
 "Injustice" in this context refers to regional, tribal and enthnic
 desparities which t
 he Guei Government promised to address during the
 transition period. The situation, however, continues to be fluid as at 19:30
 GMT. As I said earlier, the Gambian community, Bank staff and our families
 are indoors and in constant touch with Bank security. The lucky ones are out
 on vacation.
