WARNING: THIS IS VERY GRAPHIC!

[HarryCaul]

It's not very clear at all what happened in the first video.

But it's very clear that the French soldiers at the end are not concerned about armed people in the crowd. They're all sitting in the open.

Not exactly what you'd expect if the crowd had opened fire on them, is it?

[Salamander]

"Very graphic" is an understatement.
I bailed after the "exploded head" part.

So much for the vaunted French "pacifism".

Looks like most of them were shot with the French's new heatstroke guns.

BET News desk,

A quick check of your news has nothing about the French troops in Cote d'Ivory (Ivory Coast) murdering innocent civilians.

Please review the videos posted by the incumbent government here:

or

A good journalistic effort is needed to get to the bottom of this. The videos show the murder of innocents by French troops, if for no other reason than "crowd control".

BET has a unique cultural perspective from which to investigate these attrocities.

Thanks for your efforts.

I saw a related thread and the video earlier. Thanks for posting. The mass media is HIDING the truth of French barbarity. Even the UN passed a strongly worded condemnation...useless in itself of course, but if the US had been involved we'd have had hell to pay, even if proven innocent.

Link to earlier thread, which naturally had to come from AUSTRALIA : Ivory Coast accuses France of shooting civilians

[longfellow]

It looks like zapruder meets the blair witch project.

[M Kehoe]

Did anyone ping Chirac to this thread?

Wait - you mean there is proof that the FRENCH HAVE in fact actually fired weapons before? WOW - this is too much for me to take in all at one time...

Flagging this for a future read...

I just got to work and was able to download this and this is eerie video, no sound, but it's hard to tell WTF went on.

I found this and 60 sounds about right from the carnage I saw in video2

Ivory Coast accuses France of shooting civilians

By Africa correspondent Sally Sara

The Government of the Ivory Coast is planning to take legal action against French troops accused of shooting civilians.

The Ivorian Government is taking its case to the International Court of Justice.

Ivory Coast accused French troops of killing up to 60 people during an anti-French demonstration in the commercial capital, Abidjan, last week.

Human Rights Minister Victorine Wodie says the perpetrators must be punished.

But France says its soldiers were not responsible for the killings.

The Ivorian Government says it is preparing to lodge its case with the International Court of Justice.

Man what a slaughter. Never saw any blacks with guns in the entire video. Did not see anyone shoot for that matter, but noticed that almost all the wounded and dying were women.

Disgusting. A National dishonor for France.
