"The Ivorian army claims it has reoccupied the whole of Ivory Coast"... Oh well... What kind of newspaper may have printed such a thing? A local (loyalist) one, I assume. After all, last week, one Ivorian journalist asserted on the front page of his newspaper that French paratroopers had fired on a crowd of civilians in Abidjan!

I guess if Gbagbo had taken back all of his land, he wouldn't take sooooo much time to negociate with the rebels... That guy is very good at talking, and fairly poor at fighting... The Ivorians will REALLY need these foreign mercs you guys are talking about if they want to get somewhere with their war...
