Ivory Coast's political crisis remains in a deadlock following a day of talks with visiting African heads of state. On Monday, a delegation of leaders from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Cape Verde and Kenya met with both Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo and longtime opposition leader Alassane Ouattara. Gbagbo and Ouattara have each claimed victory in November's disputed election. Ouattara has received the backing of the international community. Democracy Now! hosts a discussion with Horace Campbell, professor of Political Science and African American Studies at Syracuse University, and Gnaka Lagoke, an Ivory Coast political analyst.
