UN begins evacuating personnel out of Ivory Coast

Useless Nitwits, (U.N.) nice they come in to help, But when the going LOOKS tough;they turn and run the other way!


ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Hundreds of residents have fled Ivory Coast, United Nations officials said Tuesday, as the U.N. also began evacuating some 500 staffers after a contentious election that resulted in both candidates claiming the presidency.

U.N. Development Program country director Andre Carvalho said hundreds of people have fled to neighboring countries, and that officials feared more would leave if violence broke out.

"While there has not been any major violence, people have started fleeing into Ghana and Liberia," he said.
