Do you like this story?

I didn't see many black faces while I was in Berlin. I did see one gathering of young black people at the Brandenburg Gate, and it was a strange one. They were demonstrating in support of the electorally defeated Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo, chanting and holding up signs that read, in German, "Gbagbo is the only correct/legitimate president of Ivory Coast." This was while Gbagbo was still holed up in his home, before his arrest.

This photo was taken in the Berlin neighborhood known as Prenzlauer Berg, in the former Soviet East Berlin, now a neighborhood full of young families and women pushing strollers.
