The Ivory Coast crisis 2011- Why?

The Ivory Coast crisis 2011- Why?

The Ivory Coast crisis should get every Liberian thinking and nervous about what to be  embracing for in 2011. Liberia should  pray God will help their beloved country and what is happening in the Ivory Coast won't  happen too  in 2011.

The U.N. says up to 1 million people have fled the fighting and at least 462 people have been killed, though Ouattara's camp puts the toll at 832. The vast majority of these deaths were Ouattara supporters who were abducted and killed by Gbagbo-allied security forces, human rights groups say.

March 22, 2011, People carry the bodies of Imam Souleyman Sissouma and his family at the Bilal Mosque during a funeral service in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Souleymane Sissouma was the third imam slain this month in a wave of anti-Muslim attacks so brutal his surviving family members were too afraid to attend his funeral. At least 10 mosques across Abidjan have been burned, and another was abandoned after attackers threw a grenade through a window during prayers Now armed youth who support Gbagbo are stopping and threatening people at makeshift roadblocks across Abidjan. Those with northern or Muslim names are accused of being pro-Ouattara rebels, and are beaten or killed, activists say. They have served ultimately to act as a detonator in a region that has become a linchpin in the struggle for the energy resources in Africa. Imperialism wants to inflict a lesson on the people. It wants to cut short the Ivorian fight for freedom to deter other nations of Africa.

Ivory Coast crisis intensifies as international banksters pull plug on economy -- Society's Child
Together, the banks halting operations this week control more than half of Ivorian civil servants' accounts, and will prevent many receiving salaries. French bank Société Générale announced it was shutting its subsidiary SGBCI, after Britain's Standard Chartered, France's BNP-Paribas and America's Citibank said they were suspending operations, prompting lines of people outside branches trying to withdraw savings During the presidential campaign, little was made of the fact that Ouattara would be Ivory Coast's first Muslim president, drawing much of his support from the north. In the aftermath though, pro-Gbagbo police and militias have been widely accused of targeting Muslims because they are perceived as being defacto Ouattara supporters.

Ivory Coast Crisis: Lead and stop the propaganda
President Laurent Gbagbo made it clear in 2002 that he wanted diplomatic support and arms, not foreign troops from Ecowas. The situation was such that a 15-day blitz campaign managed to split the country into two equal and separate territories, with the northern part from the city of Bouake upward under rebels' control and the southern part, downward from the city of Bouake under government's control.
