3. The UN and France have peacekeepers there and are working on it
The far right in this country backs Gbagbo. Inhofe wants SFRC hearing on election fraud there - even though it is pretty clear that Gbagbo lost -even though they tried to suppress the vote in the North, where his opposition is stronger.

( I understand that you are clearly not for intervention, but thought the background here is really complex and fascinating. If Inhofe had a say - we would be intervening on the opposite side from the Un and France. )
