This article focuses on the point of view of those living in Abidjan. Residents report constant fear and live in a sort of hiding, emerging only to find food, ignoring knocks at the door for fear they may be robbers. Public transportation is at a stand still and heavily armored vehicles can be seen in the streets. Still, rebels seem to be attempting to assist residents and keep the peace. Overall, residents are frightened and running low on supplies. Illness is also becoming a concern as most pharmacies are closed. Residents are waiting out the violence, relying on social networking sights for communication until more consistent information is received.
