France retaliates in Cote d'Ivoire

I just caught the tail end of this story on the American news. You know, the whole one sentence the American news has to say about anything not happening in the U.S. or Iraq? haha

Anyway, I immediately went to CBC to get more of the story. I can't believe that fighting has continued since last year as I haven't heard one word of it on our news until today. It is so sad...I will always hold this country and its people close to my heart as I loved my days there and have looked forward to one day visiting again. What was even more sad was that the French are attacking near a town I visited, Bouake, where I found the people to be very warm and friendly. :(
