NEW INFORMATION!! Massacre of 800 to 1,000 Catholics in Ivory Coast likely work of Islamists

Just Breaking...

From Eric Dondero:

The American media, so far, has given very little coverage to the massacre late last week in the Ivory Coast of 1,000 Catholics. Western European media has been covering the story. But it has only been within the last few hours, that the full story has come out.

Paragraphs down in Western media reports, the culprits are identified: Muslim followers of Alassane Ouattara.

He is the former (unelected) prime minister (1990 - '93). In 2010 he ran and lost for the presidency of the Ivory Coast.

Catholic Charity workers hacked to death with Machete's

From the UK Telegraph "Ivory Coast: aid workers find 1,000 bodies in Duekoue":

The single biggest atrocity in the long battle for control of Ivory Coast has emerged after aid workers discovered the bodies of up to 1,000 people in the town of Duekoue.

Patrick Nicholson, a spokesman for the Catholic charity Caritas, said his team had counted 1,000 bodies, adding that some had been hacked with machetes.

From Deutsche Presse-Agentur (via M&G News):

'The secretary general expressed particular concern and alarm about reports that pro-Ouattara forces may have killed many civilians in the town of Duekoue in the west of the country,' the UN said.

The Catholic charity Caritas has said that up to 1,000 people had been massacred in Duekoue, which forces loyal to Ouattara seized earlier this week.

Breaking from the HeraldScottland.com "The next Rwanda?":

A massacre in a Roman Catholic mission compound in the heart of the Ivory Coast’s cocoa-producing region could come to be seen as a crucial moment in the West African state’s escalating civil war.

Early reports suggested that more than 800 people, largely from the Gbagbo-supporting Gueré tribe, were killed in a single day at the sprawling Salesian Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus mission in Duekoue, 300 miles west of Abidjan towards the Liberian border. The attackers seem to have been largely soldiers descended from Burkina Faso immigrant Muslim families loyal to Ouattara...

More from the London Telegraph, "Ivory Coast: Alassane Ouattara's uphill journey to power," April 3:

Mr Ouattara is a Muslim from the country's north, where most foreign migrants live...

Finally, according to WND via BareNakedIslam:

The Ivory Coast is facing the forced Islamist takeover of its government, a move being pushed by the United States and United Nations, whose leaders reportedly are ignoring the nation’s own procedures that determined Laurent Gbagbo, a Christian, legitimately was re-elected president... Raila Odinga has called for African nations to remove Mr Gbagbo by force if necessary."

Odinga is the Muslim-aligned Prime Minister of Kenya. Barack Obama and Odinga are distant cousins.
