इवोरी कास्ट WAR

Quattara and Gbabgo are the fighting gods now. It’s the Ivorian phenomenon again. It happened in the 90s and now it’s back again. It’s the fate they always choose and live in even though they know it would kill them. There is a question I have always wanted to ask. Why are francophone countries always raked by civil wars, and are so poor? Could one point the finger at the French? Remember Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, Central African Republic and the list is endless. I am out of line here. Abidjan is now littered with corpses rotting, and little kids, kid soldiers are stepping on these corpses as they rush to a killing, diving into this reef of confusion. Grandmothers and mothers oyed and oy-veyed at the little ones playing big soldier mentality in the battle consumed streets. It’s sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.......
