France destroys air force

From the Times:

France destroys the West African country's entire air force as it heads towards civil war

THOUSANDS of machete-wielding thugs looted and set fire to French targets in Ivory Coast yesterday after France responded with force to the killing of nine of its peacekeepers and an American missionary.

I hope that France takes this opportunity to reach out and engage with the international community so that a peaceful conclusion to this problem can be reached.

The anti-French feeling among many African citizens is a product of French colonialism and France needs to look more closely at its expansionist agenda so that it may avert an increase in its unpopularity abroad.
