Answer

About 3,000 people were killed during the 2010-2011 post-election conflict in Côte d'Ivoire. The conflict was sparked by the refusal of then-President Laurent Gbagbo to concede defeat in the November 2010 presidential election. The ensuing violence resulted in a protracted political crisis that was only resolved after Gbagbo was arrested in April 2011.
