Do We Ban Ghana Cocoa Next?
Here's an article about the chaos in the cocoa farming world and is suggesting that there may be witnesses of cocoa being smuggled to Ghana. This means that some cocoa sold as Ghanan cocoa may be smuggled from Cote d'Ivoire.

Is Ouattara the Right Choice?
Is Alassane Ouattara the best choice for the Ivorian people? Gbagbo was supposed to hold elections in 2005, but put it off at least twice. He finally held elections and threw out 10% of of the ballot from a pro-Ouattara. It would be very possible that people who wanted to create a fraudulent voting count in the north could have tried to rig the election, which Gbagbo's election council caught and corrected. With the U.N. involved, the reputation of a number of groups are at sake. Most news outlets are framing the story as "rightfully elected Ouattara" and the illegitimate "dictator" Gbagbo who won't leave office. Who do you think is right?
