IVORYCOAST: ETHNIC CLEANSING FROM PRESIDENT ALLASSANE OUATTARA'S FORCES

8/27/12 IvoryCoast: These are more examples of  president Allassane Ouattara’s brutal regime that is now taking revenge on supporters of President Gbagbo. Ouattara's Forces . . . sealed off and searched areas formerly controlled by pro-Gbagbo's supporters . . . and the majority of documented abuses occurred in the longtime pro-Gbagbo stronghold of Yopougon . . . . Most killings were point-blank executions of youth from ethnic groups generally aligned with Gbagbo, in what appeared to be collective punishment for these groups' participation in Gbagbo's reelection.
