Lebanese Businessman Dies in Plane Crash in Ivory Coast
Lebanese businessman Nadi Rayyes died in the Ivory Coast on Monday after a private jet he was on board crashed due to poor weather conditions as it was flying from a coastal region to the capital Abidjan.
Lebanon’s Ambassador to the Ivory Coast Ali Ajami stated that the Rayyes owns two publications in Abidjan.
He is also a member of Abidjan’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
On March 13, 2011, Lebanese businessman Ali Fawwaz was a victim of a murder in Abidjan where his body was found dumped in a river.
Hundreds of Lebanese fled the Ivory Coast capital in April to escape battles between former President Laurent Gbagbo and current president Alassane Ouattara.
