Ivory Coast: January 7, 2004

Four men armed with AK-47s arrived in the western village of Kahin and started shooting, killing one local. The village had been torched the day before and French forces found six bodies in a nearby village of the 5th. The killings probably stemmed from ethnic differences that pit local tribes against immigrant farmers who form the backbone of Ivory Coast's cocoa workforce, rather than a resurgence of rebel activity. - Adam Geibel
