With the loser of the Ivory Coast election, Laurent Gbagbo, negotiating surrender in Abidjan, France’s intervention in its former colony may prove to be of short duration. France hopes to be as lucky in the war against Colonel Qaddafi, who seems to be in the initial stages of trying to negotiate an exit. * ?0 @7 G6 Y# ^% h

* c; Z' e. j- q以科特迪瓦总统选举持续引发的政治危机为标志，非洲大陆不少国家都陷入动荡的局面。非洲的不安不仅有政治选举引发，更有民众反对政府长期独裁，争取民主自由的反抗示威所推动。在目前北非利比亚，摩洛哥，阿尔及利亚，也门等国的茉莉花革命浪潮影响下，非洲其他国家是否也有可能发生茉莉花革命，正在越来越多引起关注。无论如何，由不少国家都发生民众起来示威争取民主与自由的事件，非洲之春的说法已经跃上台面。 - Z" G% I, R: }- i4 L# ^/ Q* u+ J, N; c% t) h# H8 m! ]6 e
* P. d, l1 g9 I- O" J0 X现在全世界有别于聚焦利比亚危机和日本核污染问题的另一个关注点正在定格在哥特迪瓦。科特迪瓦从去年11月28日举行总统第二轮投票以来，就持续陷入政治危机。该国总统选举充满暴力，投票被指控贿赂与舞弊。卸任总统加博竞选连任，与前总理瓦塔拉竞争。虽然投票结果被联合国以及欧美和非洲在内的国际社会公认为加博失利，应由瓦塔拉当选，但是加博拒绝放权，以至于使科特迪瓦四个多月以来处于两个总统，两个政府的政治危机状态。最近一次的联合国安理会就科特迪瓦的问题的决议案第1975号决议案要求加博放弃总统职位，并对加博以及加博的追随者提出制裁。决议案呼吁各方停火。 # d: D. j; P' c8 ?1 t; q: T/ f P1 z 0 b( ]$ R( [. ~1 B7 U( O6 T 3 | R1 B( ]5 X6 R; [ 8 a" v' t+ c9 M4 e% E0 s- b科特迪瓦支持瓦塔拉的力量，被评价为反对派力量。反对派在大选之后持续的示威，不仅抗议加博政权的舞弊与暴利恐吓，而且也争取选举的透明与权利。这样的示威反抗发展到今天的最后决战。从首都阿比让的总统府到西部城市迪埃奎，激战都到了最为紧张也是最后的时刻，因为几乎该国全体军队力量，警宪力量都已经抛弃加博而支持瓦塔拉。瓦塔拉在持续数月的示威抗争之后决定武装进攻，被认为是非洲抗争的一种模式。虽然事关国家权利之争，却含有民众反对加博政府腐败独裁，保护投票果实的意义。虽然加博也是经民选上台，可是对他的各种指控从来没有断绝，加博已经被大部分选民抛弃。瓦塔拉曾经希望避免争取当选权利的路上铺满鲜血与尸体而拒绝内战。哥特迪瓦局势就要发生巨变，这个维护民主权利和选举透明结果的抗争，将在非洲大陆产生深远的影响。9 U' A$ S- s7 ], J8 v2 s
