Country Profile: However the political situation has become more uncertain in recent years and since 2002, the country has been divided between the rebel Forces Nouvelles (New Forces) in the north and forces loyal to President Laurent Gbagbo in the south. In March 2007 a new agreement was reached between the main protagonists and steps are being taken to re-integrate the north and south with elections planned for 2008. As a result the security situation has improved but the latest travel advisories should be checked before visiting the country.
