Cote d'Ivoire, God be with you.

Those of us who taught that the 2010 presidential elections would mean a better Cote d’Ivoire were apparently wrong. The post-electoral crisis has been getting worse over the days. There has been a lot of shooting going on, and on top of that the UN along with the French army are carrying out air strikes. It’s not a matter of political parties anymore, but a matter of saving Cote d’Ivoire.

No one knows anymore how this crisis is going to end but as a Christian (Catholic), I strongly believe that God has a plan for the beautiful country that is Cote d’Ivoire.  Here is a passage from the bible that I’ve been reading and that relates perfectly with this situation:

Psalm 91, 1-8
“Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High; Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope. He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease. You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation. You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day, Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high. You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.”
