(Reuters) - Burkinabes guard Nikomedia Tassere smiles in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, November 10, 2005. One of four million Burkinabes who worked in neighbouring Ivory Coast, Tassere fled the world's largest cocoa producer at the start of civil war in 2002 and now struggles to make a living back home, eking out a living as a guard on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week for 25,000 CFA francs ($45) a month. The conflict in Ivory Coast, once one of West Africa's economic powerhouses, has inflamed tensions between the two countries, cost many Burkinabes their lives, and left Burkina's economy reeling.
