United Nations workers in Ivory Coast have found more than 100 bodies in the past 24 hours. Some were burned alive and others thrown into wells, said Friday as a member of the UN. According to Rupert Colville, UN spokesman on human rights issues, said it is difficult to know who is responsible, as ethnic tensions have grown because of fighting between forces loyal to President-elect Alassane Ouattara and his rival , Laurent Gbagbo.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said last week that found, at least 800 corpses in Duekoue after communal violence. Colville said the UN members found 15 bodies in the town, where burning took place, and also discovered more than 60 in Guiglo and 40 in Bloléquin. All during the last hours.
"With these ugly revenge killings in Duekoue and 100 more bodies discovered just yesterday, talking about a serious escalation," he said. The bodies found in Guiglo and Bloléquin were, mostly lying in the street. Almost everyone seemed to have been shot while fleeing and had civilian clothes.
Colville insisted that it is difficult to assign responsibility, and that tensions in the African country are very complicated and involve local ethnic problems, which are rooted, and mixed with the clashes between Ouattara and Gbagbo. "It's not a situation of a simple A to B," he said.
