	The Crisis in Ivory Coast - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		Ivory Coast, surrounded by countries that were sucked into what Naipaul colourfully described as either "chaos or nullity", was a thriving place.
		As a result, Ivory Coast, once so tranquil and prosperous, is now enmeshed in a civil war, and the country has been effectively split into two, with the northern (and largely Muslim) half controlled by a near-mysterious rebel group, the southern (and largely Christian) half by a frequently churlish and pedestrian government.
		The question of national identity in Ivory Coast, in other words, is instrumentally used by all parties, but it has become a key issue in the conflict, one that has threatened to unravel all the best efforts at bringing peace to the country.

		ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (CNN) -- The French government says it is dispatching three planes to evacuate at least 100 people, including many French citizens, who have been trapped in Abidjan at the airport since violence broke out over the weekend.
		The move came as mobs marched in the streets of Ivory Coast capital Abidjan, and French troops deployed in the city to protect French interests in the West African country of about 17.3 million residents.
		The fighting began Saturday when Ivory Coast warplanes bombed a French position near Bouake in the north, killing nine French peacekeepers and an American citizen, in a move that violated a cease-fire between the government and rebels.
