[deceiver123m]

@TheAtozed is it time for another Spanish inquisition to restore morals?

[yosukaman5]

someone need to let them know that England and France had a 100 Year war.....

[nacht98]

he is dam cute!!!

[Beesahili]

If this is howBBC reporters go around fishing out information then we should understand why we lost the bid for the WorldCup! TheWest never does anything wrong,right! I.C was flourishing in the 1960-80 as the reporter put!That was a young reporter who can't even piss straight on an African soil&fears kids playing in the sand!Uptil 1st pres.Houpet Boigny's death I.C was french property!Ivorians could be rounded up the WhiteFrenchSoldiers for walking the street in Plateau while the French enjoyed!

[eurovacationexpert]

LOL ... this Ben Anderson guy is so good looking, hate anything happening to his pretty face in these dangerous places BBC sends him to

[medicvet]

@eurovacationexpert oh I know, he has a lot of moxie, and gorgeous to boot.

[cbrito89]

i remember living there not 2 fun

[86am]

The reporter suggests that Ivory Coast's political problems are caused by "waning" French influence. Outrageous

[abidjannet]

I have no problem with you spending your holidays in the Ivory Coast. You can even live there if you want. I have a problem with Europeens planting boundaries all over the globe and imposing Visas to others while they are free to go anywhere they want. This is why this entire world is sick because there is a physical and mental unbalance in the globe. Human beings are not prefered, are not better but different. Until you understand that, any place in the world will be a safer place for u.

[davervr6]

Africa, is a crazy place. Sometimes I wonder if the western world is just throwing more fuel on the fire. I'd like to think otherwise but this is eye opening.

[Floralin]

Of course the western world is throwing fuel on it. Where do you think those african armies get their sophisticated weapons?Most markets are monopolised by the french.We had our wealthy years in the 80s. Then ourcurrency became 2 strong for the french 2 afford our natural resources :oil, diamond, gold , etc .

[Floralin]

the ivory coast currency ( Fcfa ) was "devaluated ".That's when they decided that what was previously 1 french Franc = 10 fcfa , would be 1Franc = 5 fcfa. The politicians , corrupted like everywhere else are always the 1st ones to leave the country they ve sold already . We re not living in a fair world and news like BBC better talk about the roots of the problem, rather than shallow things like "i got death threats from kids ".It's Sad that the journalist was killed but so were many ivorians .

[modernhumble]

u cant judge the whole of africa based on 1 video

[OBSysteme]

@modernhumble yes but that video is representative of most of african.... things are deteriorating at many places and the world looks the other way.

Congo Brazzaville is another country never in the news.. that has an incompetent dictator where que quality of life is fast decreasing.

[stybarrow]

" French influence is waning ". uh, yes.

[gajgirlz]

ok hello i am an ivorian and we do not kill white people they came for war so we will show them war.People can not see that now we r free.Gbagbo will rule as our president! VIVE LES IVOIRIEN!

[THEONLYBIGBOSSMAN]

vive la legion entrangere, parce que guerre entre frères n'est pas nécessaire!

Vous et les rebelles devraient devenir peuple unifié

Je suis désolé, je sais que mon français est mauvais, mais il est ce que je crois. La paix soit avec vous!

[Destructoro001]

Youre an idiot for going there, theyre killing white people almost daily there.

[jvforever72]

i think that's why it's so difficult to ameliorate the situation , there is no political structure to oppose , just a group of homicidal dictators who seek to oppress the citizens .

i think something must be done soon , an unstable Africa doesn't benefit anyone , a democratic Africa would benefit everyone .

it could be a major world economic power if it was a democratic state

[jvforever72]

and stabilize the region , it would show all the other homicidal psychotics that's not how you do business .

humanitarian efforts have failed , save for the 5 kids a year Hwood celebrities adopt out of millions , and the Un is an emasculated political organization , the time is coming when the chaotic state of Africa that is considered normal will feel the might and vengeance of democracy .

the dictators who rule with homicide will fall . at least i hope this will transpire . JV

[jvforever72]

Africa has so many natural resources , they could be a world power but they seem to be stuck in an ancient outmoded attitude over ideals with factions willing to murder whoever they think is a threat to their dominance in their own strip of land . i know Bush may be blamed for this ( he's sent more aid to them than any American Pres . ) , but Africa was probably a violent and murderous country before anyone else stepped foot on the place . I say , go into the Rep. of Congo ....

[trigga1uk]

that is true, these people were going nowhere fast long before colonialism. People dont want to accept it but there is quite obvious mental and physical traits between different races. With the exceptions of the pyramids (not really africa anyway) where is there any kind of marvelous man made structure in africa. Like the great wall of china or the mayan temples. There are none! They have the resources but they are just not mentally capable of grasping such things.

[jvforever72]

No , the genocide in Africa has nothing to do with anyone's intellectual level , it's because they rule with an iron fist .

it's political structure is somewhat unique in that it doesn't resemble any modern day philosophy , such as communism , fascism , socialism and the like , they are stuck in midieval times .

the most violent among them rule the continent , that's the philosophy , extreme violence and murder ...

[kijijikubwa]

typical anglo response,what else is new??

[trigga1uk]

yes it is, us anglos have a habit of pointing out the obvious, regardless of whether it might upset people or not.

[Eomk10]

Lol you guys need to do some research...Murderous? is africa a country?? lol

[molaresexy]

i must think your ignorance and stupiduty

reflect the personnage

if it wasn't for african themselves a idiot like you would never have the opportunity of talking about us

i deeply love my root and one the continent will be united and the word will see our true POWER

[trigga1uk]

ill assume english is not your first language as your wording is quite strange. And yes, if it wasnt for africans then i would not be able to talk about them, which is the same as saying if football did not exist then i would not be able to talk about it. And i truely do hope one day we will see the true power of africa. Im fed up of listening to charities wanting to send money over there and constantly patronising the people of Africa.

[molaresexy]

us african are also fed up of those begging org. and charities

before any foreign help we should asset our potentials , appreciate and use our own resources,stop the corruption in our institutions & government by then we 'll realize the truly need of this continent. what's NOTHING..............

WE NEED A CHANGE OF MIND NEW VISION FOR ALL AFRICAN before any dimes received could be useful

[72Cinema]

this is to any people actualy in africa and can see what is going on.

I am thinking about joining the UN military to help liberate and rejuvenate Africa, do you think this would actualy help? or would it be as futile as sending money?

[fog0death]

@molaresexy There needs to be a change of mind and new visions in MANY countries. There are tons of countries that could turn into great countries with the proper guidance. Maybe I should become a politician and guide them myself!

[azureminded1]

@molaresexy are you insane DO NOT speak for all of us the people who look like me that i know want to assist africa as it is our homeland and has been grossly exploited even as an american we should want africa to be supported how did we get here what do we own and why are the resources in africa continually exploited as we suffer without tru progress i am certainly NOT in agreement with you

[daoodism]

it would seem you are the one with mental problems.. to assume a structure is how you rate a race's brain power is just stupid. you must take into consideration priorities of the people.. only recently did western europe move ahead in civilization. in ethipia there are many structures dating back to early christian times. mosques in muslim africa, etc.. it appears that you need more education before you say racist things, which only hold you back. try learning about the people before you talk.

[trigga1uk]

its not racism. Is it racist to say that the fastest people on the 100metres are always black. Regardless of how much you dont like it, different races and cultures have vastly different intellectual and physical abilities. All this "we are all the same but have different colour skin" is total nonsense and idealism at its very worst. I have been to these nations and seen the problems that some of their traditions cause, but they dont know any other way to live.

[shiryuuclone]

just let them kill each other

[kiriku12]

If only you knew...Africa has never even been free...what they call "war" or civil war..is merely a fight over the land control that developing countries create..they turned people against each other,manipulate the counry into war, promising flood of money to whowever will plunge the country into chaos to favour their desperate need for Africa's natural ressources...You don't know what you are talking about...yes let them kill each other..even that, may just be denied to them as well...

[mj999mj]

Grampa McCain will fix this ,,,and all other world problems. Then he'll pas the flaming turd to Sarah..

[bteeuwen]

why do videos like this have barely any views when sexually explicits videos build in volume and views.. sick world, good videos and good information.

[rfry]

because people can go an entire lifetime without thinking about whats going on in a country halfway across the globe. But u can't go a lifetime without thinking about sex

[rhysyboy81]

@bteeuwen good good comment!

[IIB20VTEC]

@bteeuwen cause watching a documentary on dangerous places isnt a primal instinct...sex is.

[bushdidit2u911]

@bteeuwen the more we watch tits and ass the less we involve ourselves in real issues! its all done by design to distract us thats why on our television thesedays in australia the kids are bombarded with sexy film clips and provocative content all day long!!! talk about a major distraction!

[sukablianah2]

@bteeuwen Yeah, if i make a video of me, oiling my tight sexy ass on the beach, it would have more views than this video by tomorrow... Thats sad, sick world! :(

[brangrah1717]

@bteeuwen human nature

[rrrohan2288]

that guy died

[lisejoan]

HE DIED??? How sad...

That's why true journalism never shines... There was nothing bad about what he reported. Now, all we have is propaganda. I'm Ivorian and I say... we've blamed the French, because we're afraid to blame ourselves for being sell-outs... I'm talking about so many politicians who for money will sacrifice a whole nation they swore to serve and protect. C'est Dieu qui est grand.

[albrtkim]

@lisejoan Sound bites, quick pictures, molded into what the western world wants non ivoirien to see, but i def agree that the main issue for many african countries are its leaders not the "white men", thats done and gone, they are selfish african leaders who are greedy and want money and power simple as that nothing else. And the reporter is reporting on a few things (ivoire hotel, etc....) that even most locals do not even go to, but its their news so they film and report as they want.

[CityHunter84]

power corrupts, and absaloute power corrupts absoloutely :)

[ironboley]

Those that pay the money and support the greed are just as guilty. "The man that sleep with the prostitute is just as guilty."
