Ivory Coast Attack: UN, French forces fire on Gbagbo bases in Abidjan

The United Nations and French forces opened fire with attack helicopters Monday on the arsenal of Ivory Coast's entrenched ruler, as columns of foot soldiers finally pierced the city limit. The fighters aiming to topple Laurent Gbagbo after a decade in power had succeeded in taking nearly the entire countryside in just three days last week, but they faltered once they reached the country's largest city, where the presidential palace and residence are located. Monday's offensive marked an unprecedented escalation in the international community's efforts to oust Gbagbo, who lost the presidential election in November yet has refused to cede power to Alassane Ouattara even as the world's largest cocoa producer teetered on the brink of all-out civil war.

@justinC504 Seriously shut up, there is a huge amount of white people all over the western continents who are fully in support what our corrupt governments are doing but remember there is growing resistance who just as mad an angry as you. I'm down for armed revolution, I'm down for reparations for the African and South American continents, I'm ready to die for my people. Which is humanity, not caucasian.

[justinC504]

No wonder Africa is starving and poverty.. The Europeans still control the continent.

There is no escaping this. The whites want to kill us slowly, and theres nothing I or any other individual can do about it.

Just wait...plan...and wait. That's all we can do brothers
