US mid-terms: the new rules of the House (part 2)

Ivory Coast: an election to end division? (part 2)

There’s a lot riding on this week’s elections in Ivory Coast. Once one of the most peaceful and prosperous countries in Africa, the nation has been divided and beset by violence for over a decade.
