Thanks Sidi for the updates and we continus to pray that all will be safe.
There are reporst here this morning that U.S special  forces have landed in
Ghana at the request of the U.S ambassador in Ivory Coast or Gahna, to assist
in evacuation of Americans and other foreign nationals. Apparently, the kids
who attend that school in Bouake, many of them Americans  are still holed up
inside the school unable to leave according to the news here this morning.
Looks like this coup attempt has turned into a civil war of sorts because I
cannot imagine that the fight is still between coup plotters and the
government since the coup is said to have been averted.
We hope and pray that all goes well.
