Interesting report aired on BBC Radio 4's excellent news-with-a-personal-perspective programme From Our Own Correspondent by a British man who is married to an Ivorian (as he phrases it), has lived there for years, and clearly loves the country. Worth a listen:
This broadcast is divided into segments, so if you don't want to hear the rest of the programme (which lasts about half an hour) scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Chapter 3. There's also an interesting commentary on Japan. But the whole show is good - I never miss it.
