800 dead in Ivory Coast violence around Duekoue city, says Red Cross

Delegates report 'huge number of bodies' from week of tribal clashes as fighting continues over disputed presidential election

Seems that the US and Nato do not want to save the civilians there .... :warning

i don't recall them asking for u.s. help at any time in this decades long ordeal.

if the u.s. just swept in and *fixed* it, peeps like you would be bitching about that instead.

moreover, it's a circular argument to imply that because we go in and help in one place, we are supposed to, ready to, prepared for and can afford to, go in and fix anything anywhere.

Since when do you need an invitation ?

can't help everybody

They don't have oil. Plus it is none of our business. But I am sure if you are worried about it you (general use) could always buy a plane ticket there and help fight.

They may not have oil but most of the world's COCOA (the main ingredient for chocolate) comes from that country. That should count for something...

Ivory Coast have offshore oil and gas fields.

when did the civil war there start? 10 years ago?

how long has shit been brewing there? ever since the french bailed out decades ago??

but america is supposed to go clean it all up with missles and cia shit in a quick git her done job? lolz

Crippling debt from industrialized countries, civil war, huge population growth and 50% unemployment.

hummmm....

The West African state of Ivory Coast is known more as an oil refining country rather than as an oil producing one. While it does not have the prolific offshore oil fields of Nigeria, it does possess a modest upstream oil industry.

So basically, the civilian rescue operation is ran a bit like a lottery ... your country could ber pulled out of the hat ... even if you did not buy tickets ... lol ...
