in Abobo, Poibre, Yopougon and Ajami.A mass grave was recently found in Cocody.
In the 1970s, Argentina's military junta triggered a movement in search
of the disappeared, 'los desaparecidos'. In the case of Mr. Gbagbo and Cote d'Ivoire,
the day of reckoning will inevitably arrive as people try to find missing relatives.
The recruitment of mercenaries from Liberia (and probably Angola), the
politicization of his army along ethnic lines, the employment of
French propagandists, and the fraudulent use of pan-African sentiments
to deceive the gullible, will not save the regime indefinitely.

Armed forces in Ivory Coast linked to Laurent Gbagbo, who has refused to resign as president after a disputed election, have been supporting ethnic violence, the UN peacekeeping chief said Thursday.
"We are very worried by what's going on in the West" of Ivory Coast, UN under-secretary-general Alain Le Roy told reporters in New York, adding that overnight the number of people killed in western Ivory Coast due to their ethnicity had doubled to around 14. (Reuters)
