French and UN helicopters and ground forces in action again as situation in Ivory Coast turns into a proper little civil war:

Does anybody have any information on the disposition of UN and French forces deployed in the Ivory Coast? I’m particularly interested in the airborne component (esp. French and Ukranian helicopters) but wouldn’t mind more info on troop numbers and vehicles deployed too. Very little info seems to be available on the internet.
Thanks!
