Don't know but clearly those responsible for in fact what has been a partition of Ivory Coast since the previous confrontation with the North Muslim rebels somewhat independant for several years prior to this election have created a situation which shouldn't come as a surprise, it's a bit hypocrit... the obvious consequence to be the refusal to count in the following elections the regions with a somewhat autonomous status they chose to have, refusing the official administration.

Today, to refuse to maintain what was accepted then is a dangerous game with a foreseeable consequence, more violence.

Better a peaceful partition, responsibly driven with mutual respect for kee interests of both sides than a renewed civil war anyone can see coming if the international community wants to treat differently the two sides. Whatever was aloud for North rebels will have to be aloud for any other party at the conflict.
