The begining of war in Ivory Coast

I will never forget the day I learned that there was war in my country. I was planning our Christmas party in France, when my brother called me to say that some soldiers had opened fire in the town. I was really afraid because most of my family members were still living in Ivory Coast. So, I tried to call my mother to find out what was really happening, but I couldn’t get her on the phone. I started to panic. I tried to call the other members of my family, but all the phones rang busy. Finally, after having persisting for seven hours, we got her on the phone, and we learned that it was the beginning of a war. Every time that Christmas approaches, I'm reminded of the beginning of the war in my country.
