Re-arming in Côte d'Ivoire

The UN has released a report accusing both rebel groups in the north of Côte d'Ivoire as well as the government in the south of re-arming. This new threat occurs just one month before the election. Neighboring Burkina Faso has been accused of funneling weapons to both sides of the conflict, and supported the rebel groups in the 2002 civil war, yet has also been a staunch supporter of the UN backed peace agreement between the Ivoirian rebels and the government.
