In reply to estivoautumnal:
I thought I'd check out a report from the UN on the state of its peacekeeping mission:
"The already volatile security situation in western Côte d’Ivoire along the border with Liberia experienced a dramatic deterioration with a direct attack on UNOCI peacekeepers on 8 June 2012, during which seven military personnel from Niger were killed.
"A separate but related attack on a Forces républicaines de Côte d’Ivoire (FRCI) unit... resulted in the death of one FRCI member and the wounding of another. On the same day, at least 15 civilians were killed by unidentified armed men in the area. These attacks, the heightened insecurity and the presence of armed elements triggered the displacement of about 5,000 persons."
