Responding to the call of Diaby Mohamed for a brainstorming on the crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, Ivorian Internet users decided to take action for peace in their country. The Facebook group “For Peace, nothing but Peace in Côte d'Ivoire” was created to promote “Opération Bougie et symbole blanc pour la paix“(fr) (Operation Candlelight  and white symbol for peace) from December 22-24.  Nnenna writes that 450 people joined in less than 3 hours.
