Where is the No Fly Zone now?
Ivory Coast: '800 die in Ivory Coast ethnic violence'

The BBC's John James says there are 'strong ethnic tensions' in Duekoue

At least 800 people are reported to have been killed in the Ivory Coast city of Duekoue this week, as rival forces continue to battle for power.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) staff visited Duekoue and said the scale and brutality of the killings were shocking.

Silly me, they are black and have no oil.
