Donuel, they have had a period of calm after Ouattara came to power and Gbagbo was finally ousted. Ouattara stupidly promised the Army huge sums of money to protect him and the country from further trouble. But he hasn't paid up, so now the Military are going about firing rifles all over Abidjan, and my husband's worried about his family (again!) He was there 2 weeks ago for his father's funeral, and there's an atmosphere of tension already.
It goes in cycles it seems to me. Calm for a year or two, then another uprising.
