A U.S. soldier stands guard in front of a C-130 Hercules aircraft after French and U.S. air forces flew out some 200 refugees from Korhogo to Yamoussoukro airport in the Ivory Coast, September 29, 2002. French and U.S. troops started evacuating foreigners by air on Sunday from a town in the northern Ivory Coast, still held by rebels after an 11-day uprising. Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands have fled their homes since a failed coup attempt turned into a wider conflict that has left swathes of the northern Ivory Coast in the hands of rebels.
