ABIDJAN, Dec 15 (AFP) - Around 100 people demonstrated Friday in Abidjan
against foreign press organisations operating in the country, seen by some
here as supporting opposition leader Alassane Ouattara.
   France's Radio France International (RFI) and the BBC were notably
targeted.
   "Get out BBC, get out RFI, goodbye liars," protesters chanted.
   Police surrounded the demonstrations.
   Some parts of the Ivorian press regularly accuse foreign media of
favouring
the cause of Ouattara, a former prime minister who was barred from running
in
presidential and parliamentary polls this year and whose supporters last
week
clashed violently with police and government supporters.
