Conflict in West Africa.
Charity: water posted this update regarding the current situation in Cote d’Ivoire, directly affecting neighboring Liberia.
The West African country of Cote d’Ivoire, the world’s biggest cocoa producer, has been in turmoil since early December when outgoing president Laurent Gbagbo refused leave office despite opposition leader Alassane Ouattara’s UN-certified and internationally-recognized victory in November’s run-off election. 
In Liberia, UN agencies are aiding refugees from among both Mr. Ouattara’s and Mr. Gbagbo’s supporters. Their numbers now top 22,000, most of whom are women and children who urgently need food, shelter and clean water, all in short supply in Liberia’s Nimba County, where the refugees are arriving (UN News Centre).
Currently all funds raised through Water for Christmas go directly to fund clean water projects in Liberia. We hold Liberia, and West Africa as a whole, extremely dear, and are praying for a quick resolution in Cote d’Ivoire and safety for the people of this entire region.
