Check point Calvi

ue, 6th of January 2003

Ivory Coast, North of Dueko

2nd REPs 1st and 4th companies had been sent in the Republic of the Ivory Coast in order to reinforce French Unicorn Operation
military deployment, allowing a better control of the cease fire between the rebels and the loyalists. This would ease the diplomatic
negotiations that would take place from the 15th to the 24th of January 2003. Further complications were raised by the involvement
of a third party, the Great West Rebels. Little is known of the goals of this uncontrollable force, reinforced by several liberians and
infamous for the mischief they had committed in Sierra Leone. Nevertheless, since December 21st, several attempts to break french
military control had been committed. The morning of the 6th of January, a group of rebels were headed towards checkpoint Calvi on
Duekoues road, seemingly to contact the detachment of Foreign Legion soldiers. But it was only a cheap trick, for another group of an
hundred rebels followed and launched an assault. Once again, the legionnaires were the dernier argument of France.
