Mass protest of some sort in a large open plaza?
Soldiers begin shooting
Cameraman goes nuts, video not focused for a good while
He gets behind cover
People don’t scatter, begin chanting some stuff
Firing continues then dies down
Several injuries are shown, in cluding some poor little girl shot and many people injured, couple of heads blown apart
French soldiers in background leaev the area
Some UN van is shown on fire
Edit: Ok I am not sure if those shooting are French troops. So sorry about misleading people.
For those of you who don't know, Ivory Coast is a muslim state currently occupied by the French. Ivory Coast the land is a beautiful place just like Kashmir.

It's about 40% Muslim. Mainly the rebels in the north are Muslims, the government in the south is predominantly Christian.
In addition, the Muslim rebels are led by a practicing Christian, Guillaume Soro, who grew up in the predominantly Muslim north.
France's presence is there as a peacekeeper; both sides agreed to the French presence. The current unrest began when the government attacked rebel (mainly Muslim) positions and killed French soldiers there.
France is no different than the colonial British or Amerikkkans
All those people who think france have some kind of good feeling for muslims because they did not fight against Iraq are fooling themselves they only care about personal benefit because they didnt benefit from Iraq they kicked up a fuss!
