What Do Belarus and Tunisia Have in Common ?

They are dictatorships hiding out in democratic trappings.
Belarus, where a recent election gave more than 90% of the vote to the incumbent, and where most of the opponent candidates were tossed in jail, has recently also tossed out the Organization for European Security and Cooperation, which was sent to monitor the "election." The world is waiting for the first serious response from either the UN or a major democracy.
Tunisia is now in the throes of a full blown insurrection against its president, Ben Ali, who has been re-elected at every (unopposed) election in the last 23 years. In the past month, students and graduates who cannot find work have been marching in protest of the repressive regime. The protests spread throughout the country and turned violent in the past week. Tunis, the capital, is now under martial law and police and military have been given the order to fire on anyone opposing one of their orders. Tanks are trying to maintain some semblance of public order while a 6 pm to 6 am curfew was just announced several hours ago. Ben Ali has also promised new legislative elections and his own retirement at the end of his current term that expires in 2014. The marchers are not satisfied, given Ben Ali's past record of announcing one thing and doing another. The world is watching and warning citizens on holiday in Tunisia to be careful. No serious commentary from the UN or any major democracy has yet been made.
I raise these situations, to remind us that Ivory Coast, where two candidates got about 50% of the vote each, and who have both declared themselves president, are continuing to try to work out the problem through negotiation and compromise. There has been some street violence, but it has been minor. The world knows that the UN and every major democracy has chosen sides concerning Ivory Coast and has told one of the candidates to step down, while applying diplomatic pressure by refusing him and his group visas, and by freezing that group's bank accounts outside Ivory Coast.  
Is there a hint of favoritism and unequal treatment here? Seems highly likely to me.
