UN Human Right office confirms 115 more Killed in Christian areas of Ivory Coast

Ouattara's Muslim forces suspected in Massacre

From Eric Dondero:

Numerous foreign media reported last week that over 800 to more than 1,000 Christians were burned to death, machete'd and machine-gunned down in a Christian village west of Abidjan, by Muslim forces loyal to opposition leader Alassane Ouattara. The Muslim leader Ouattara is strongly supported by the Obama adminsitration (Sec. of State Hillary Clinton), as well as Obama's distint cousin Kenyan prime minister Raila Odinga.

Now this breaking news, from the Times&Transcript out of Canada, "Gbagbo strikes back in Abidjan - Forces loyal to embattled Ivory Coast strongman regaining ground:

The United Nations human rights office said yesterday it had found 115 corpses in the west in the past 24 hours, adding to the 800 dead reported by aid groups last week.

Some of the victims were burnt alive and others thrown into wells, in a chilling reminder of the ethnic and religious divisons gripping the country - and mirroring the divide between Gbagbo, whose traditional powerbase is in the Christian south, and Ouattara's Muslim, northern-based forces.
