UNOCI after the clash between
FPI and RDR on Saturday: "Avoid provocation and excesses....."

Nord-Sud  -
A clash that occurred on Saturday in Koumassi, between activists from the
Ivorian Popular Front and government supporters still worries the population.
The United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire yesterday asked that an inquiry
should be done to find out who was responsible of these actions. The Mayor of
Koumassi said that they were not informed about the incident. The FPI denied any
involvement. Here is what Hamadoun Touré, spokesman for UNOCI, said to ONUCI-FM.
"We have just heard about incidents during the FPI's rally. We wanted to
encourage the authorities to see exactly what happened, to know the
circumstances, the nature and those who perpetrated these incidents. We have
responded to that situation because calm and peace were coming back in the
country. It is still fragile but efforts have been made to make it possible.
Therefore do not let these efforts be ruined by such incidents. That is why we
have strongly condemned the incidents. We asked everyone to show restraint, calm
and serenity at a time when we are all working for national reconciliation and
lasting peace. But one must also tell all political actors, the people, to avoid
provocation and excesses. Everyone must obey the law. According to Yapi N'Doli
Raymond, the Mayor of Koumassi the incidents occurred because people were upset
by insults from organizers. "The
meeting would
have taken place but it was the way that some of the organisers were talking
that upset people.  (...) We have have been saying for some time that words should
not be used as weapons,"
he said. For Guéhoun Augustin, the FPI's National Secretary,
responsible for the communication, if the mayor said that the meeting was
interrupted because it was not authorized, then he is anti-Republican. "Those
who interrupted the meeting were not agents of the town hall. They wore clothes
stamped FRCI. So do the FRCI work for the mayor? No!  Besides they were clearly
identified and heard saying: "FPI you are finished" he said.

Le Mandat
 – The operation of collecting
arms and ammunition initiated by UNOCI is on course. In collaboration with the
National Commission against the proliferation of small arms and small caliber
(COM-NAT-ALPCI), UNOCI has brought 16 former pro-Gbagbo militiamen to lay down
their guns and ammunition, in the sub-prefecture of Tiobli. Meanwhile, the
Bangladeshi contingent, and the Republican Forces of Côte d'Ivoire (FRCI) gave
to the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire arms and ammunition they had
collected earlier from 18 ancient combattants of  the Front de Liberation du
Grand Ouest (Lima / FLGO). For Sophie Da Camara, Director of the Division
disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) of UNOCI, this action marked
the return of peace in the department. "I would like to congratulate these young
people who had the courage to appear openly to lay down their arms. They are
role models," she said. In the process, she announced that UNOCI was determined
to prolong its action through awareness and disarmament

Seminar
on the 100 days of the government / Guillaume Soro: Côte d'Ivoire is on the
right track for its stabilization''

L'Intelligent d'Abidjan
 - Prime Minister
Guillaume Soro has congratulated the President of the Republic and his staff for
putting the Cote d'Ivoire to work, one hundred days after taking office. (...)
Today, ministers go to their office between 7am and 8am, which is a true
revolution in Cote d'Ivoire, where senior workers could take several days before
getting to their workplace. The pressure on the high authorities of the country
also affected their employees. It was not easy at first for many of us, but all
are beginning to adapt. The Government and the employees are under pressure so
that, after days of hard work that extend late into the night, each has only one
desire: to return home and take some rest until. This, without a doubt, is a
stabilizing factor in the family. And considering that the stabilization of the
country starts with the family we can say without fear of deceiving us that our
country is on track for its stabilization. (...)
