Finally they will hold an election, or will they?

People love soccer would know the national team of Cote d'Ivoire has been very strong in the last decade. But its rise of football power is accompanied by the start of political turbulence, including a civil war.

Right now, a fragile peace is still in place. But the presidential election, due in 2005, is yet to be hold, thanks to the fragility of political situation.

Now, early March next years has been set for the date of next election. But whether it is going to happen is questionable since 8 previous attempts had failed. An election is possible to set fire on the political situation and start new conflicts among different cliques, but blank check of never-going-to-happen elections is not going to help. Holding a free-and-fair election on time and opening to international aid and supervision can be and should be the only solution.
