[edit] Copyvio

User:Circeus spotted a substantal copyvio on this page (well done!) but as this is an article with language and other links then rather than delete the whole page as a copyvio I've rv'd it to the base information (plus links). A *non-voi* entry would be nice to see! --Vamp:Willow 14:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Descrimination, population movement

I was just reading When the Spider Danced: Notes from an African Village by Alexander Alland, Jr. who discusses Akan prejudice against Mossi communities. He details Mossi communites in Cote d'Ivoire as long term visitors treated as second class citizens. This is in the 60s and 70s: it would be interesting to see the state now with the jingoism that led to the Ivorian Civil warT L Miles 21:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
