Transitions of Power

Meanwhile, in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) they are wrapping up a presidential election between incumbent Laurent Gbagbo and challenger Alassane Ouattara (Mr Quattara won and President Gbagbo is not handing over the office).  According to Night Watch:
If Ouattara's men seize Abidjan there will be massacres, irrespective of UN peacekeeping forces there.
So far the death toll is in the neighborhood of 500.

I am betting there are as many, if not more, immigrants from Cote d'Ivoire living in the US as there are from Libya.
