Specifically, the government was peaceful and Christian and the rebels were violent and Muslim. Daily seizures, assaults and attacks were taking place and everyone cheered when the French military went to rescue the schoolchildren held hostage.

Then the French promised the rebels the leadership of the Departments of Defense and Interior for peace and did not engage the current government in the discussion. The current government said, this is unacceptable, how can we live in fear with these people controlling all weaponry? And the French said, too bad, deal with it.

Then the fighting was worse because the rebels believed that the French had the power to fulfill the promise and the government of the Ivory Coast would not give in.

So it's thanks to the lack of humanity of the French that the Ivory Coast is in trouble today. Which surprises only the French.

Thank you for putting this situation into perspective. Again the French is playing the appeaser with the Muslims, while Christians are supposed to lie down and die without a fight.
