What is happening in Ivory Coast bears all the symbols of another African tragedy. Opposition leaders have threatened civil unrest. Tension mounts everyday. Last month there was an attempted coup. Scores of people were rounded up.
Nobody knows their fate.
Africa and the world watched it happen in Togo, Ghana, Gambia, Liberia, the list is endless. There won't be a shortage of arms and experience in ethnic cleansing when the inevitable happens. Ivory Coast shares border with Liberia and is very close to Sierra Leone. Both countries share 15 years of civil war between them.
