Ivory Coast: Anti-Gbagbo protesters killed

For all those interested in the effects of the Egyptian rebellion, the stories just get better and better. Although the Ivory Coast had a first round of rebellion against the current president after he refused to accept the results of the last election last year, it seems as though people have become even more vocal and have been motivated to fight against the injustice which they face. Using Egypt as their model, people in the Ivory Coast have started rioting in the streets and a blood shed has started with some people fearing that a political, if not ethnic, genocide will take place as the nation is quite split. A few relevant questions in relation to all of the uprisings is: at what point will people stop rioting? Will the rioting spread to even more nations? And, who will take control of the chaos in unstable nations?
