First Ivorian Civil War

The First Ivorian Civil War was a civil conflict in the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) that began with a military rebellion on 19 September 2002 and ended with a peace agreement on 4 March 2007. The conflict pitted the government of Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo against a domestic insurgency led by the New Forces of Ivory Coast (Forces nouvelles de Côte d'Ivoire). A second civil war (2010–2011) would break out over the results of the 2010 Ivorian presidential election. Quotes The idea is to have the three rebel groups and the government sign the same document Roland Kpotsra said The war has to stop. The most important thing is that we strike an agreement. He's trying to frighten people. If he goes ... Ivory Coast will just move on. There won't be a civil war. said by Mr. Soro External links Category:Civil wars of the 21st century
