hundreds killed (68)
tomcatwarne: At least 800 people have reportedly been killed in the Ivory Coast city of Duekoue, as violence continues. Skip related contentDominique Liengme, head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delegation in the country, said in a statement: "This incident is particularly shocking in its scope and brutality."
The ICRC said earlier this week that thousands have been killed or injured in post-election violence since November, which has driven up to 1 million people from their homes in Abidjan alone. Some 123,000 Ivorians have fled to Liberia and 5,000 to Ghana, according to the UN refugee agency.
Fierce fighting spread across Abidjan on Friday as troops loyal to Ivory Coast's Laurent Gbagbo fended off attacks by forces supporting Alassane Ouattara's rival claim to the presidency.
The ICRC said it condemned attacks on civilians and reminded all warring parties of their obligation under international humanitarian law to protect the civilian population.Democracy?

My thoughts exactly, and where are all the politicos who have been screaming at Liya. I think this confirms for me what it's all about.

@ tomcatwarne,
now seriously, it will never stop, again and again... I worked for a charity organisation and I have suffered from burnt out syndrome. First who wants to help must be fit...
are we all - I mean all parts the world fit - to help others?
I am afraid of replying the question.

For one it does not have a defined dictator killing people but rather a disputed election and two, no dictator who has a history of befriending terrorists and attacking the US. Three, it is doubtful either side will become part of a larger radical network sponsored by the MB and become a strategic problem.
Afraid if you wish to go in and decide who wins and who loses you will have to form your own coalition this time.
