AFRICA / COTE D 'IVOIRE - 173 people killed and 471 taken from December 16 to 21 according to the UN
Abidjan (Agenzia Fides) - "We expect that the ICC will send a mission to Ivory Coast to establish the liability of each other and that all responsible in one way or another are transferred to The Hague. " It's call Guillaume Soro, Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara's government as part of an interview with a French newspaper.
There is thus a new attempt by the clan Ouattara internationalization of the Ivorian crisis, due to the refusal of the outgoing President Laurent Gbagbo to recognize Ouattara's victory in the second round of presidential elections on 28 November.
Soro also asked the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and ECOWAS (Economic Community and Development of West African States) the use of force. A solution that is viewed with concern, however, insofar as the Ivorian armed forces, which have been strengthened in recent years have sided with Gbagbo. Ouattara's supporters also complain that their opponents have recourse to paramilitary militias, recruited especially in neighboring countries, especially in Liberia, who have rendered themselves militias responsible for killings and kidnappings of civilians.
According to Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights of the UN, Kyung-Wha Kang, 173 people were killed and 471 arrested in Ivory Coast between 16 and 21 December. During the same period were reported 90 cases of torture and disappearances of 24 persons. Kyung-Wha Kang, has released such data in the presence of 47 members of the Council for Human Rights UN meeting in Geneva in special session to discuss the Ivory Coast.
