In an internationally-supervised election last fall, incumbent Laurent Gbagbo lost re-election as President of Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) to Alassane Ouattara. The electoral commission certified the vote as fair. But Gbagbo's hand-picked court decided that he was the winner anyway. Nobody has taken this seriously except Gbagbo and his diehard supporters, and war has resumed. It is almost over, though, with Gbagbo holed up in his bunker as Abidjan and the rest of the country are now largely under the control of forces loyal to Ouattara.
An interesting OpEd in the NYTimes by a former Gbagbo supporter, Venance Konan, wonders how a one-time democracy leader became so corrupted once he became President, and was so willing to see people die so that he could keep power. It turns out that our old friends the Christianists have something to do with this.
