What particular language are you speaking now?

This one was interesting, in any case:
(WP) "France hit back within hours, wiping out Ivory Coast's newly strengthened air force -- two Russian-made Sukhoi jet fighters and at least three helicopter gunships -- on the ground." ... " On Sunday, loyalist mobs rampaged in a second day of looting and burning, outraged by the crushing French military response." ... "A reporter watched marauders clutching machetes and iron bars enter one neighborhood, demanding if any French lived there.

"If there are any whites in this neighborhood, we're going to get . . . them," one man shouted."
(Guardian) "France wiped out the nation's air force on the tarmac in retaliation, sparking anti-French rampages by thousands in the fiercely nationalist south." ... "French forces opened fire Tuesday as thousands pressed around the center in protest, witnesses said.

It was not clear what sparked the clash. The French military refused comment, saying it was trying to determine what happened."
