Figures

Another hot and sticky day in Abidjan. At least yesterday we were able to go around the corner to buy some fresh veg and mangos (100CFA each and have some beer and chicken at the local 'maquis'. All is quiet again today - but more protests planned for next week. The government is still sticking to the figure of 25 dead last Thursday, but other sources put the number at between 45 and 300. Amazingly there is a good chance that the real figure will never be known. So no beach trip this weekend - we'll just have to hang around watching DVD's instead....
