MONTREAL (AFP) - the son of the Franco-Canadian journalist Guy-Andre Kieffer, disappeared since mid-April in Côte.d'ivoire, asked for Friday the Canadian government to imply himself more to draw this business with light, and carried felt sorry for near the federal police force for the removal of his father.

"I feel a great frustration", affirmed Sebastien Cédric Kieffer in a press conference. "I would like that the Canadian government and the Prime Minister (Paul Martin) imply themselves in this file in a more aggressive way", it insisted.

Whereas "the French authorities dispatched an examining magistrate, and makes the steps for a true investigation, Canadian side, it is very vague", considered the 29 year old young man, supported by the Reporters organization without borders (RSF).

Sebastien Kieffer, who carried felt sorry for Thursday near the royal Gendarmerie of Canada (GRC), said not to have had many information until now of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs to help it.

Itself "keeps hope as long as no body was found".

His/her father, 54 years, correspondent of the Letter of the Continent, confidential letter devoted to Africa, inquired into suspicions of transfers of illegal funds between the Côte.d'ivoire and the Guinea-Bissau, as of money bleaching by the national bank of the Ivory Coast, when it was seen for the last time on April 16 on a carpark of a shopping centre in Abidjan. "It knew that the situation was hot for him", underlined Sebastien Kieffer, telling that his father used his Canadian nationality, more neutral than French nationality, to facilitate his work in Côte.d'ivoire.

Today, RSF and the family of Mr. Kieffer fear that the authorities of the Ivory Coast do not make carry the blame to the only person stopped in this investigation, Michel Legré, brother-in-law of the woman of president of the Ivory Coast Laurent Gbagbo.

During his two hearings in front of the French judge, Michel Legré had delivered the names of several close relations of the capacity and the financial world, implied according to him in the disappearance of the journalist.

"What disappoints us is that nothing of his role is known, its protection should be ensured" so that light is made, put forward Tanya Churchmuch, president the Canadian section of RSF.

Last person to have seen Guy-Andre Kieffer before her disappearance, Michel Legré was accused on May 28 of "complicity of removal, sequestration and assassination" and was submitted at and the correction Prison of Abidjan.

Last week already, the Canadian Association of the journalists had required of the Canadian government to make pressure near the authorities of the Ivory Coast so that the persons in charge for the disappearance of the journalist are translated into justice.
