The misinforma¬tion by the internatio¬nal media on what's happening in Ivory Coast is breathtaki¬ng. Any objective observer knows that Gbagbo is currently fighting for his country independen¬ce against the colonial forces of the evil French empire.

If the government really wants to end the civil war the government should talk with rebels (civilians) to end the crisis unless the civilian war will spread to the neighbouring countries and they will also suffer.
