| #3 Because you want to know if this "extra police attention" is a religious conflict or is simply a dispute over whether people from a different country and tribe are citizens. During the boom times nobody cared too much about the exact status of the immigrants, and I understand some of these foreigners are second generation residents by now. Of course the imams can turn anything into a religious conflict, but this conflict didn't start out as a Muslim vs X. |

| #1 Perhaps the title might better read `Foreign' Muslims Face Persecution in Ivory Coast. (I put scare quotes because their citizenship is a disputed issue.) |
