History
Following the disputed November 2010 election, there were armed attacks across the Liberian border by disaffected Ivorian soldiers and their Liberian comrades. In June 2012 these attacks intensified when seven United Nations peacekeepers, an Ivorian soldier, and at least ten civilians were killed in the nearby village of Saho on 8 June.[2] Over 7,000 refugees flooded into Para.[3]
Economy
Cocao is the main cash crop in the Para area.[2]
