Our Prayers to all Ivorians. May this be the beginning of the end of the
curse of military rule. Brother Sidi, I hope all is well with the Gambian
community down there.
Malanding

coup bid: source
ABIDJAN, Sept 20 (AFP) - The wife of former Ivory Coast military ruler
Robert Guei who died in a violent coup attempt in the west African country
on
Thursday, has been found dead, an informed source said Friday.
Rose Doudou Guei was "killed by a bullet to the head" and was "probably
killed in her house," the source said.
She had also been shot once in the leg, according to the source.
The body of Fabien Coulibaly, Guei's aide-de-camp, has also been found in
Abidjan, the economic hub of the west African country, witnesses said
earlier
Friday.
They said Coulibaly's near-nude and bullet-riddled body was found in a
ditch with four other corpses.
"They were executed. Captain Fabien was riddled with bullets. He was
disfigured," a witness, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
Guei, who staged Ivory Coast's first military coup in December 1999, was
found dead in Abidjan on Thursday after the outbreak of a bloody army
mutiny,
which the authorities have said was a coup bid masterminded by the former
military leader.
