Ivory Coast/Liberia: Thousands arrive in search of safety
25.11.2004
At least 10,000 Ivorians have fled their homeland in the last two weeks, fearing a fresh chapter of violence after the government in Abidjan broke an 18-month ceasefire and bombed the rebel-held north. The refugees, most of whom are women, are strung out along remote areas of the border. Most appeared to have come from the area round Guiglo, on the government side of the frontline in western Cote d'Ivoire, and from around Danane, a rebel-held city near the Liberian border.
