no one has said it was okay to fire at them. the fact of the matter is they were given security advise not to go through an area which had rebel forces. why? because the possibility of an attack against them was possible.
it's like telling a tourist here don't go through alex at night wearing chains and watches all alone.is it alright you should get attacked if you do? no. and the areas of the states where you hear the same type of advice given.
the bottom line is that postponing games would have knock on effects. like delaying the final. would say chelsea be willing for their players to stay past the date scheduled for the final if it were Ghana v Ivory Coast, Essien and Drogba missing even more games? CAF and the teams would have no powers against the clubs demanding their players back.
