/ africa / ivory coast /
This is an article published this past June as the situation was getting out of hand in C�te d'Ivoire, providing important background. Current developments are that a refugee crisis is developing as thousands flee to Liberia (of all places), which predictably has a serious problem supporting them.

This is as good a recap of the situation in the Ivory Coast as you will find, by MeFi's obruni, i.e. Ethan Zuckerman who hosts the comment in his very interesting blog.
