Cote d'Ivoire: American Embassy's National Daily Press Review

This daily press review is compiled by the Information Section of the Public Affairs Office of the American Embassy in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Today's news reports said that the Ivorian government is to engage in a series of consultations with consumer associations and drivers' unions in a bid to end the strike over rising fuel prices that has paralyzed businesses for the past few days in Cote d'Ivoire. The report also said that the World Food Program (WFP) donated $ 490,000 to Cote d'Ivoire to address the food crisis. Rumors of a coup d'etat in Cote d'Ivoire and the death of two security forces of the Integrated Command Center - a joint command of government and New Forces military forces - were the other major stories in today's Ivorian papers. Le Temps (a daily close to the ruling FPI newspaper) also reported on a meeting between a delegation from the United States' Embassy in Abidjan and the leadership of the New Forces.
