Regional delegation demands Gbagbo step down

The World

Another day, another attempt to end the tense standoff in Ivory Coast. This time, a delegation of West African leaders traveled to the country’s main city, Abidjan. They told Ivorian strongman Laurent Gbagbo to step down �without delay� or face a regional military intervention. Gbagbo came out the loser in an internationally-certified presidential election but has refused to accept that result. Host Lisa Mullins speaks with former US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Jendayi Frazer.
