I posted this last night, but it got no comment from ATRW. Maybe it's worth posting again. This is a pro-US/anti-French rally in the Ivory Coast.

This picture is from the Ivory Coast where there have been anti-French demonstrations since Saturday. Here's a quote, but click on the pic to go to the full report.

The daily also defended massive, often violent anti-French protests that have rocked the main city of Abidjan since Saturday, January 25, with attacks on French symbols and institutions including the embassy, schools, the Air France office and businesses. “Ivorians should remain mobilized,” it said, adding that “only struggle pays.” And in a more directly inflammatory tone, it called 2003 “the year of resistance,” adding: “Ivorians know what they need to do ... remain in the streets.”
By the way, notice the "USA is better" sign. Are these people in touch with those South Koreans we heard about?

"USA is better" .

Love the sign.

To the French I must ask..."What's your sign?" A little Jeff Foxworthy humor.
