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.

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.
