Because of the election crisis between incumbent President Laurent Ggagbo and his rival Alassane Ouattara.
Ggagbo officially lost the election but has refused to step down and his troops have surrounded the hotel where Ouattara is holed up.
UN troops have been protecting Ouattara but Ggagbo loyalists have begun to cut their supply lines.
So the 500 extra troops are likely to beef up the UN presence and hopefully forestall a return to civil war.
