Ivory Coast's peace process: critical review of facts
11/01/2007 By Isabel Moreno Carballal
Ivorians and the international community saw October 30, 2005, date agreed upon in Pretoria to hold elections in Ivory Coast, pass by as a lost opportunity for peace, in which many have placed their hopes.
Since then, events occurring in the largest cocoa-exporting country in the world have done nothing but worsened and peace is outlined as a far-reaching goal.
The 1721 United Nations Resolution, dated November 2006, extended the Prime Minister's powers, causing positive reactions in the international community and adverse ones in some sectors of the country.
This comment reviews these latest events and the context of the last year of the peace process.
