110407mg 11 04 07 7 Apr 2011 Mail & Guardian Ivory Coast's Laurent Gbagbo - Playing for time? or delaying the inevitable Laurent Gbagbo refuses to step down after he lost United Nations organised elections in November 2010. After many attemps to negotiate a peaceful solution, civil war more or less has broken out on Ivory Coast. Four to five months later, Gbagbo is under siege but is procrastinating his departure. Gbagbo's characteristic play for time dashes hopes for a solution to the conflict, which is causing a humanitarian crisis. Zapiro's cartoon puts Laurent Gbagbo in the same category as Ben-Ali of Tunisia and Mobarak of Egypt.

Could we hurry this along, Mr Gbgabo? I have n't been this busy since 1989
