Ivorian Soldier Shoots Dead French Colleague
A French soldier in Ivory Coast was shot dead on Friday by a member of the West African nation’s Army during a joint patrol, a French military spokesman said. The spokesman said there was no known motive for the killing, though anti-French sentiment is high among many Ivorians who accuse the former colonial power of being too soft on rebel forces who control the north of the country.
Other than that, no idea at all.
The shooting took place near the capital Yamoussoukro, Lieutenant Colonel Philippe De Cussac said. "Late this afternoon, a soldier from the FANCI (Ivory Coast Armed Forces) fired without any known motive into the back of a French soldier during a patrol in the Zambakro region," he said. "Sadly, the soldier died." He said an investigation had been launched into the shooting.
