UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network /
- 01 October 2007 -On
the request of the President of Côte d’Ivoire for an independent
international inquiry into the June attack against a plane carrying Prime
Minister Guillaume Soro, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has sent an exploratory
mission to the West African country.
On 29
June, at least four people were killed when unidentified attackers fired a
rocket on a plane carrying Mr. Soro as it landed at the airport in Bouaké,
situated in the north of Côte d’Ivoire.
The aim
of the six-day mission is to determine the nature of the Ivorian authorities’
request and to discuss options, based on UN principles and practices, pertaining
to such investigations, according to a press release issued by the UN Mission in
Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI).
The
Security Council had denounced the June attack, saying that it backed the March
Ouagadougou agreement, which sets out a series of measures to deal with the
political divide in the country, and condemned “any attempt to destabilize the
peace process by force.”
