Making Peace
The Tunisian town of Gammarth saw Libya's rival factions begin much-awaited political peace talks on Monday — brokered by the United Nations, the goal is to outline a roadmap to presidential and parliamentary elections in the country. The President of Tunisia, Kais Said, publicly addressed the gathering, \"But only after this, and only after gathering of weapons, until no armed groups outside of Libyan sovereignty remain. And you, my great brothers and sisters, you, my guests, have an appointment with history, for the sake of history. Do not let it go.\"

[IPS] Miami -- To believe that Biden's triumph is the end of the drama that has unfolded since January 2016 is an example of a mirage with fatal consequences. Pretending that those more than 70 million voters who have followed Trump to the end will disappear from the map on January 20 with the inauguration of Biden and Harris reveals a blindness to how much America has changed in recent generations.
Ivory Coast's constitutional council on Monday formally validated President Alassane Ouattara's reelection to a third term after an October 31 ballot that was marred by clashes and an opposition boycott.
Council president Mamadou Kone said in a national broadcast that the body had ratified Ouattara's victory by more than 94 percent of the vote.
\"Considering that Mr. Alassane Ouattara received 3,031,483 votes, thus achieving a score of 94.27%, above the absolute majority required, it is therefore appropriate to proclaim him elected, in the first round, President of the Republic of Ivory Coast, following the ballot of Saturday, October 31, 2020.\" kone said.
The West African nation's opposition leaders are now under investigation for insurrection after they rejected the result and called for a rival transitional government.
Opposition groups say Ouattara violated the constitution, which limits presidents to two terms. Ouattara says the approval of a new constitution in 2016 allows him to restart his mandate.
