Where do you get your info? No French bombs dropping here! Maybe a few well placed demo charges and remotely activated mortar rounds on the Sukois, a couple of well placed "ball-pean" hammers on the Mi-24's and Voila! No more CI Airforce!
I am at this moment staring out at a very calm and quiet Abidjan. By the way, it was the Legion that did the deed. About 40 were all that was needed to take the airport. They have since pulled out and the CI army is back in control of the airport.
