U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has warned the Ivory Coast could slide back into a civil war following last month’s disputed election. At least 50 people have died in recent days after Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat to his opponent Alassane Ouattara. Gbagbo has ordered U.N. peacekeeping forces to leave the country. In an attempt to improve his image in the United States, Gbagbo has hired the services of attorney Lanny Davis, a Washington insider who was also hired last year by the coup government in Honduras.
