( AFP/Getty Images / October 16, 2012 ) A soldier from the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast (FRCI) stands guard in the neighborhood of Abobo in Abidjan. Ivory Coast police yesterday fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of young peddlers from a market area in Abidjan, sparking clashes where gunshots were fired and several people were hurt, witnesses said. The clashes began after several hundred youths fought a police operation to disperse peddlers who were blocking traffic on roads surrounding the main market area in the Abobo neighborhood. |
