At Sahuyé pro Ouattara forces have killed more 
peopleYesterday we launched the alarm announcing that in the village of
Sahuyé Pro-Ouattara soldiers as they had done the day before at Agbaille
were spirited to massacre civilians. The details of what happened in Sahuyé we are concerned that the reality is beyond imagination. The massacres perpetrated by Pro Ouattara forces are scheduled and organized massacres. And toll that the press provides us with are probably well below what
that is about to happen in areas considered electorally acquired by
President Laurent Gbagbo.
So yesterday according the pro Ouattara newspaper INTER Sahuyé , gunmen belonging to the pro Ouattara are positioned on the road to Sahuyé and began to intercept all the cars that went in this village. After snatched and threw in the scrub all passengers cell phone batteries , armed men gave back the passengers smart phones and Then they ordered the driver to turn back.
A few hours after these events, shots started ringing in the village of Sahuyé. As we published yesterday, according to a witness on the spot who managed to hide in the forest, the Pro Ouattara soldiers after gathering all the villagers who they accused of harboring militia and hide weapons, began to shoot at close range some of them. Contrary to what happened in Agbaille yesterday, this time, the soldiers of Ouattara killed men, women and children. The toll sheet Newpaper INTER provides us with still talking of 6 dead, but according to our sources, there would have been many more deaths. This was a real massacre.
The modus operandi of these actions as we said above proves that these massacres are planned and organized. Pro Ouattara forces indeed choose villages deemed to be committed to the cause of President Gbagbo, render inoperative cellphone of potential witnesses, gathering all the villagers to leave no witnesses and massacring as many as possible. All this while the international forces of UNOCI and UNICORN are around. UNOCI which these days seems busier to offer its services to the extradition of President Gbagbo's spokesman more than the protection of civilians.
The world is warned, in Côte d'Ivoire/Ivory Coast at the moment, a real genocide is underway.
If nothing is done it might be because it's an international condoned genocide by the imposed international recognized et not nationally elected (nationally rejected since he's non Ivorian but from Burkina Faso) president. And lets ask why after the genocide in Duekoue and the continuing human right abuses not a single arrest has been made , not a single UN SC action, sanction, resolution taken yet Gbagbo's side went and is still under all the UN SC, EU sanctions, civilian bombing,account freezing ,warrant arrest , just based on allegations. Comparing the Syrian case where armed rebels repressed by the government is seen as the worse crimes and the so called international community is calling for sanction, and even government destabilization, we can establish without a doubt that there's a double standard (on behalf of NGO's , media, UN etc ) . Since in Syria we can talk about legitimate combat in civilian area where armed rebels in action are putting in danger the life of civilian. And as states the Geneva convention on war :Protected persons and objects- Civilians: persons who are not members of the armed forces and who do not take part in hostilities.
In Book III, Volume 1 (Instruction of first-year trainee officers), the Teaching Manual provides:Chapter 1. Introduction to the law of war…
II.1. DistinctionAt all times, a distinction must be clearly made between combatants and civilians or the civilian population as such … Civilians are protected against attacks, but they lose that protection during the time of their effective participation in hostilities.…Chapter 3. Identification
…II.1. Civilians
Civilians must not be attacked … Civilians are not entitled to take part directly in hostilities. If they do, they lose their status as civilians during the time of their direct participation ……II. 4. Civilians accompanying the armed forces Civilians accompanying the armed forces are, for example, war correspondents, personnel responsible for the wellbeing of the armed forces, supply contractors, members of labour units or civilian members of crews of military aircraft … They are in the same situation as other civilians; in order to be entitled to protection against attacks, they must abstain from directly taking part in the hostilities. In Book IV (Instruction of heads of division and company commanders), the Teaching Manual provides:
I.4. Unlawful combatants“Unlawful” combatants are those who take a direct part in hostilities without having the legal right to do so according to the LOAC.I.4.1. Civilians participating in hostilities Civilians who take a direct part in hostilities (other than in a levée en masse) are unlawful combatants. They lose their protection as civilian persons and become lawful objectives during the time they take a direct part in hostilities. ……II.1. Legitimate objectives…II.1.1. Definitions“Legitimate objectives” comprise combatants, unlawful combatants and military objectives. …
II.1.5. Unlawful combatants Unlawful combatants are legitimate objectives during the time they take a direct part in hostilities. Unlawful combatants comprise:- civilians (except for those who are lawful combatants because they participate in a levée en masse). It's therefore clear that te situation in Ivory Coast as described above is far more about a genocide than the one in Syria so why the UN and the "international community" are more keen to sanction the Syrian government and is completely silent on the a worse situation in Ivory Coast ? Chose for yourself what's worse in both situation.
