from clothed corpses

Explanation:
it's hard to tell but I assume a corp is a dead corp ie a corpse...

I think it has to do with how to handle dead bodies which are NOT naked, still clothed....safety precautions to be taken...

corps means means dead to me because otherwise the French would have said; chez les personnes habillés...

\"Ce n\'est pas parce que tu es policier que je ne devrais pas te fouiller. C\'est vous les \"corps habillés (appellation générale des policiers, gendarmes et douaniers) qui êtes à la base de ce qui arrive au pays\", s\'énerve un jeune contre un sergent de la police ivoirienne qui se plaignait de la lenteur de la tâche. \"

uniform wearers

Explanation:
soldiers, constables, policemen in some African countries

Dans notre pays et dans notre cas particulier, "les corps Habillés" sont étiquetés comme les gens les plus corrompus. Abusant des attributs de leurs fonctions que sont les tenues et les armes, ils ont souvent été accusés à tort ou à raison des pires calamités. L'actualité récente a jeté une lumière crue sur des agents de police tirant sur tout ce qui bouge et des gendarmes rackettant même les populations les plus modestes du pays profond.

Dans certains de ces pays les troupes ont été décimées par le SIDA, c\'est une population à hauts risques

Selon Maï, 13 ans, des corps habillés sont venus inviter Adja : \"Ils ont dit à Adja d\'aller dormir avec eux. Elle est partie. Le gars-là, n’a pas été gentil ! Il a mal couché avec Adja. Elle a pleuré. Nous ne faisons pas ça, nous ne sommes pas pédés. Voilà maintenant Adja est malade\". Cette situation a davantage renforcé la méfiance de ces adolescentes.

Body equip

Explanation:
Nous n'avons pas rendu hommage aux militaires pour les encourager dans ce sens-là. Aujourd'hui, l'heure est à la réconciliation nationale. Nous pensons qu'on ne peut pas réconcilier les Ivoiriens sans associer les corps habillés : gendarmes, policiers, militaires… Avec ce titre « CORPS HABILLES » on espère que les Ivoiriens apprendront à mieux connaître les forces armées ivoiriennes et donc se réconcilier avec ces dernières.

We did not pay homage to the soldiers to encourage them in this direction. Today, the hour is with the national reconciliation. We think that one cannot reconcile the Men from the Ivory Coast without associating the equipped bodies: gendarmes, police officers, soldiers? With this title "BODY EQUIP" one hopes that the Men from the Ivory Coast will learn with better knowing the armed forces of the Ivory Coast and thus to reconcile itself with these last.
