 Civil War Warnings in Ivory CoastPosted on Dec 26, 2010
The Ivory Coast’s incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo, who refuses to step aside after losing to a rival in November’s presidential election, has warned that any foreign intervention could spark an “interior war.” Election-related violence has already killed at least 173 people in the West African country. —JCL

Keep cool guys.
The President of Cote d’ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo is aware, he love his country and a lot of french speakers are for peace in this country.
We don’t want a ex-IMF warrior in this part of the world ==> so, no bankster and killer as Ouattara in Cote d’ivoire are welcome.
UNO kill civilan. If a war begin, no more US official sould keep the sleep and they will be obliged to control all insect with kinds of TSA milice.
The french president Sarkozy playing a US force game. This is why we don’t like him.
If you want more information, may be sould you look at this : Jean-François Probst: “I believe that Gbagbo is closer to Mugabe than Mandela.”

I’m not following the story very closely, so catch me up- If Gbagbo, the incumbent no less, lost the election, shouldn’t he step aside? Typically in that part of the world, the incumbent “wins” as often as he likes. And isn’t the threat of intervention coming solely from other neighboring African countries? And since “foreign entanglements” are very infra dig these days, should the US get involved in any way at all? And what hand does the BBC have in this?

My prayers for Mr Gbagbo. Under the worst odds, the Ivory Coast has battled outside influences and still has not given up. From being dragged away as slaves, from being constantly plundered, both by the west, I salute these people who believe in their country.
The BBC has the dirtiest sort of blood smell on them with regard to Africa. Especially with regard to Muslims. Give me a break.
Everyone who doesn’t live there should pack their bags and go.
