CĂ´te d'Ivoire's Post-Election Crisis (open access)

CĂ´te d'Ivoire's Post-Election Crisis

This report discusses the contested November 28, 2010, presidential election runoff election in CĂ´te d'Ivoire. Laurent Gbagbo and his rival, former Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara, both continue to claim to have won the runoff and to exercise exclusive national executive authority, and to attempt to consolidate their control over state institutions. An increase in armed conflicts in late February 2011, among other indicators, signals the possible outbreak of a renewed civil war. This report discusses these events, as well as U.S. and international efforts to support a peaceful transition in CĂ´te d'Ivoire, which has remained largely divided since the civil war that began in 2002.

The Federal Budget: Issues for FY2011, FY2012, and Beyond

Libya: Unrest and U.S. Policy (open access)

Libya: Unrest and U.S. Policy

This report discusses the revolution and current conflict in Libya. The current crisis was triggered in mid-February 2011 by a chain of events in Benghazi and other eastern cities that quickly spiraled out of Qadhafi's control. Although Libyan opposition groups had called for a so-called "day of rage" on February 17 to commemorate protests that had occurred five years earlier, localized violence erupted prior to the planned national protests. As of April 25, U.S. and coalition officials stated that coalition military operations had destroyed the ability of the Libyan military to control Libyan airspace and had reduced the capability of Libyan ground forces by roughly 30%-40%.
