As the military standoff dragged on in Abidjan, there were new concerns Friday about tensions erupting into deadly violence in the country’s west. The UN said more than 100 bodies have been found in the last 24 hours, and some of the victims had been burned alive. “All the incidents appear at least partly ethnically motivated,” said Rupert Colville, spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. The UN said peacekeepers and human rights officials discovered about 60 bodies in the western town of Guiglo. Rupert said another 40 corpses were found lying in the street in Blolequin, and many of them had been shot. Fifteen other bodies were found in Duekoue, where violence already has left at least 229 dead in recent weeks. Colville, the UN human rights agency spokesman, said mercenaries from neighbouring Liberia appear to have committed some of the killings. Forces loyal to Ivory Coast President-elect Alassane Ouattara killed hundreds of civilians, burned at least 10 villages and summarily raped women from an ethnic group perceived to be loyal to ousted leader Laurent Gbagbo, according to Human Rights Watch. “Fighters often targeted people by ethnicity, and the attacks disproportionately affected those too old or feeble to flee,” said a report e-mailed late yesterday by the New York- based group. “Dozens of women were also detained for a day or longer and repeatedly raped.” The report of the killings, which occurred during a March offensive by the pro-Ouattara Republican Forces in the country’s west, come as his troops maintained a siege of Gbagbo’s residence in the Cocody section of Abidjan. Gbagbo, who has disputed Ouattara’s internationally recognized victory in Nov. 28 presidential elections, has taken shelter in a bunker with his family and senior aides. His security forces have largely retreated or defected as rebels now known as the Republican Forces swept down from northern Ivory Coast to Abidjan. The standoff has placed the country on the brink of a civil war as the U.S. and other Western countries seek to force the installment of Alassane Ouattara, a Muslim who, like Gbagbo, claims the presidency following a recent contested election. The forced selection of Quattara by outside influences runs contrary to constitutionally established procedures in the Ivory Coast regarding such determinations, critics contend. In this case, the issue centers on whether the United States and U.N. will select the next Ivory Coast president or allow the decision by the country's constitutional council to prevail. The constitutional council had determined that there was sufficient evidence of vote-rigging in the northern part of the country controlled by Islamists to make the final determination that Gbagbo, the incumbent president, had won the hotly contested election last November. The constitutional council under the Ivory Coast constitution has the last word on election results. But the U.S., U.N. and African Union are pushing for the recognition of Ouattara and are demanding that Gbagbo step down and "respect democracy." The Russians, meanwhile, have blocked a U.N. statement to recognize Ouattara, saying the U.N. has exceeded its role in the Ivory Coast. It's the second Muslim-Christian battle in Africa recently. The earlier dispute was in 2007, when Barack Obama campaigned for now-Kenyan Prime Minster Raila Odinga, who had been assigned by the African Union to look into the Ivory Coast situation. Obama barnstormed on behalf of Odinga, the socialist who hails from the same tribal heritage, the Luo, as Obama, when Odinga was seeking the presidency in Kenya. Appearing with Odinga at campaign stops, Obama gave speeches accusing the sitting Kenyan president of being corrupt and oppressive. Then on Aug. 29, 2007, Raila Odinga signed a secret Memorandum of Understanding with Muslim Sheikh Abdullah Abdi, the chief of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya. In exchange for Muslim support, Odinga promised to rewrite the Kenyan constitution to install Shariah as law in "Muslim declared regions," elevate Islam as "the only true religion" and give Islamic leaders "oversight" over other religions, establish Shariah courts and ban Christian proselytism. Even with strong Muslim backing, Odinga was beaten in the December 2007 elections. He then accused the incumbent president of rigging the vote and allegedly incited his supporters to riot. Over the next month, some 1,500 Kenyans were killed and more than 500,000 displaced – with most of the violence led by Muslims, who set churches ablaze and hacked Christians to death with machetes. Odinga eventually ended up as prime minister in Kenya through a power-sharing arrangement that was installed in an effort to appease those who were rioting.Early reports suggested that more than 800 people, largely from the Gbagbo-supporting Gueré tribe, were killed in a single day at the sprawling Salesian Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus mission in Duekoue, 300 miles west of Abidjan towards the Liberian border. The attackers seem to have been largely soldiers descended from Burkina Faso immigrant Muslim families loyal to Ouattara.

....
but now let's head to another coast.(article below)
The Ivory Coast.
There is a civil war in the Ivory Coast between Muslims and Christians. Unsurprisingly the EU has chosen to back the Muslim side. France is using armed force to insure that the Muslims take over.
Islam came to the Ivory Coast via Berber slave traders. Now it is trying to take over with mass murder and the backing of the 'international community'. The post-colonial Ivory Coast was a success story. But Muslim immigration has turned it into a nightmare.
The media narrative on the Cote D'Ivorie crisis is that Muslim thug Alassane Ouattarra is the legitimately elected leader of the country. But Alassane Ouattarra had a Birther problem of his own. Under Ivory Coast law, the president and his parents have to be native born. Alassane Ouattarra was born in the Ivory Coast, but his father wasn't. That legally disqualified him from holding office. He tried for it anyway despite a Supreme Court ruling barring him.
Ouattarra tried to present forged documents, resulting in a warrant for his arrest. He ran for office yet again. But this time he brought large numbers of Muslim immigrants who were not legally qualified to vote to the polls. Numerically he won, but the invalid votes were thrown out by the Constitutional Council. The 'international community' chose to back Ouattarra, who had no legal right to even stand for office, and his illegal Muslim voters. Now they're doing everything possible to put him in power.
Let's be clear about what is going on here. Gbago is no saint-- few African leaders are. But Alassane Ouattarra and his Muslim thugs are trying to turn the Ivory Coast into another Sudan filled with the bodies of Christians and Animists. Backing an Ouattarra takeover means backing another Muslim genocide against Christians and Animists.
The Obama Administration has pushed for the replacement of Gbago with Ouattarra. The UN has used mostly unproven war crimes allegations, that smack of events in Yugoslavia, to conduct a war to put Ouattarra and his Muslim thugs in power. Meanwhile the UN did not intervene military when Muslims were engaged in genocide in Sudan. UN peacekeepers serve as Ouattara's private bodyguard.
Despite all the lies about acting on behalf of Ivorians-- the UN is acting on behalf of Muslims. On behalf of Ouattara and the Muslim immigrants drawn by the wealth of Côte d'Ivoire.
The numbers tell the tale. In 1957, Muslims barely made up 20 percent of the country. In the 90's, they were already half the country. The boom has come from migrant workers. Many of whom were enlisted to vote for Ouattara.
This civil war hinges on the question of whether Muslim immigrants should be allowed to take over the Côte d'Ivoire. The UN says yes. Obama says yes. France says yes. But this is a preview of coming attractions for Europe and America as well.
Have you ever heard of a once-prosperous nation, the envy of bordering countries, where the economy suddenly soured? And then issues of immigration and nationality surfaced -- and even the birth record of a presidential candidate was questioned?
"If you want to know how dangerous the birther movement is in the U.S., look at the Ivory Coast," said Daniel Balint-Kurti, an Ivory Coast expert and former resident now with the London-based Global Witness organization.
Al-Jazeera began pushing the "We need to be paying more attention to the Ivory Coast" meme. And we're paying attention to make the Muslims win. As usual.
Ouattara's forces massacred a 1,000 Christians with no condemnation. All under the auspices of the UN.
The International Committee for the Red Cross said its staff discovered more than 800 bodies of people who were clearly local civilians. They were mainly men who had been shot and left where they fell, the organisation said, either alone or in small groups dotted around the town, which lies at the heart of Ivory Coast’s economically crucial cocoa producing region.
The charity said it had been told by locals that intercommunal violence erupted soon after Mr Ouattara’s forces took control of the town on Monday. Thousands of people left their homes to escape the fighting and an estimated 40,000 sought refuge in a nearby Roman Catholic mission’s compound. The priests who operate it are running short of food, clean water and medical equipment to treat those they say arrived with gunshot wounds.
The bodies are thought to be of those who did not reach sanctuary in time. They were killed despite 200 United Nations troops operating what it said were “robust” patrols from its base on the outskirts to protect civilians in and around the church.
And the body count continues to grow as Obama, Sarkozy and the UN are determined to let Ouattara turn the Ivory Coast into another Sudan.
These atrocities are not just happening on Obama's watch-- they are orchestrated by the thugs he supports.
“It is now clear, based on U.N. reports coming from Cote d’Ivoire, that mass killings have occurred at the hands of Alassane Ouattara,” Inhofe said. “This calls into question his legitimacy to lead that country. Ouattara is on a rampage, killing innocent civilians, and he must be stopped before this becomes another Rawanda.
“The United States must call for an immediate ceasefire to prevent Ouattara and his rebel army from committing a mass slaughter of the Ivorians, especially the many youth with sticks and baseball bats, who are protecting Gbagbo at the presidential palace.
“Based on the evidence I have seen, and having spoken with various dignitaries in Africa, I brought the issue of fraudulent elections in Cote d’Ivoire to the attention of Secretary of State Clinton on a couple of occasions spanning the past few months. I have called for the United States to support new elections there, but thus far, these efforts have received very little response or attention. Based on the news that Ouattara has murdered 1,000 people in Duekoue, I hope the U.S. will reconsider its position.
The Cote D'Ivorie is only one front in a Muslim drive to Islamize Africa. And Africa is only front in a Muslim drive to Islamize the world.
