Ivory Coast Republican forces (FRCI) patrol on a road near Sacre village, in the western Tai area near Ivory Coast's border with Liberia, June 17, 2012. The area has been hit by a series of attacks in recent weeks, killing at least 22 people, including seven United Nations peacekeepers. Ivory Coast has said the attacks were carried out by Liberian mercenaries and pro-former president Laurent Gbagbo Ivorian militias who crossed over from Liberia.
