However, on the other hand this morning our embassy in Nigeria gave a brief report on the crisis in Cote d vore, that according to their research there are no Batswana in Cote D Vore except a woman who is said to be married there. The ambassador announced that they managed to reach her and she told them that, where she is, is safe, though the situation cannot be satisfactory. Due to the ongoing crisis in the country which began after the President Laurent Gbagbo of Cote d vore since 2000 claim he has won the Ivorian election of 2010,the first election in the country in 10 years . His opposition candidate Alassane Outtara and other countries ,organizations and leaders world wide claimed that Alassane has won the election.
