As someone whose parents are African, I always feel kinda guilty that Im hoping for unrest (the kidnapping of the Shell workers in Nigeria is a good case in point given that Im long Crude). The situation in Ivory Coast is extremely complex and I cant see an end to it soon. Not convinced it will have a long term detrimental effect on cocoa production though.
