The situation in the revolutionary war in C? te d 'Ivoire has escalated.

At first, the target of violence was African-American "foreigners", because the prosperity of C? te d 'Ivoire attracted many West Africans to move here. In 1998, 26% of the population are these people, and 56% of these 26% are mostly from Burkina Faso. This atmosphere makes racial conflicts more tense. Houphou? t-Boigny's policy of allowing Burkina Faso people to live in C? te d 'Ivoire has been criticized in order to gain the stubborn votes of this group.

1995, the situation is even more intense, because Burkina Faso people were killed in the ethnic conflict in Tabo.

Racial conflicts between landlords and employers are also fierce, especially between Bits and Boers in the western region, and between Bits and Robbie. This is the result of the government encouraging the Boers in the central region to emigrate to the fertile areas in the west and southwest after independence, and allowing them to grow cocoa and coffee for a living. Over the years, some bits began to hate these successful foreign farmers. Many immigrants are forbidden to exercise their right to vote, making the election meaningless.
