IVORY COAST : CHRISTIANS ANXIOUS AS WAR THREATENS (muslim immigrant takeover)
Ivory Coast
November 2004
2002

Excerpt:
When mostly Muslim rebels (backed with foreign funds and arms) seized control of northern Ivory Coast (IC) in 2002, Christians, southerners and government supporters fled south for their lives. As those fleeing included most of northern IC's doctors, nurses, professionals, administrators and school teachers, living conditions in the north have deteriorated markedly under rebel control.
