What is the Muslim/Non-Muslim angle to this story?

That is the main unndercurrent there now, yes?

Since the capitol until recently was run by Christians I would assume that most of those being displaced are Christians.

After the French (under the U.N.) went in and arrested the last president Ivory Coast has dropped out of the news. The old President and his family are under arrest, as are most of their high level supporters.

Of course none of the former rebels (Muslims) that committed atrocities are being arrested. Since the new president is a former World Bank official the transition has a western flare to it, but I expect over time the Muslims now in charge will begin to implement their style of governance. And the cycle continues.

Unfettered capitalism vs state imposed poverty and low level crony capitalism. At least that is my guess from a country with thousands of such markets. Nothing to do with Islam.
