Reprisals Rock Ivory Coast after Gbagbo Deposed

New reports from the Ivory Coast indicate that military forces loyal to President Alassane Ouattara are carrying out reprisal attacks against supporters of former President Laurent Gbagbo.

Parishioners are reporting the kidnappings of dozens of young men in San Pedro, a Catholic priest in the cocoa-exporting port city in southwestern Ivory Coast said. The priest asked not to be named, explaining: "We are all in danger."

"Every day the peacekeepers are collecting and burying bodies," he said. "There is lots of dense bush here. Who knows how many bodies there are."

An Associated Press reporter witnessed Ouattara's troops beating a man for not giving them the right answers. The man turned up dead a few minutes later.

Another reporter also saw pro-Ouattara soldiers pull five men from a minibus and drag them into some thick brush at a road block.

And this is supposedly why the man did not want to leave, fear of reprisals on his men, fear that his men would be killed because they call on God and not allah.
