Ivory Coast: Ouattara forces 'storm Gbagbo residence'

Ivory Coast: Ouattara forces 'storm Gbagbo residence'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12985638

Forces opposed to Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo have launched a final assault on the presidential residence where he is holed up, reports say.

Mr Gbagbo has been in negotiations with the UN over the terms of his departure, after being surrounded by troops loyal to his rival Alassane Ouattara.

A French government source said weapons fire had erupted at Mr Gbagbo's residence in Abidjan.

Mr Gbagbo insists he won last November's election.

But the Ivorian election commission found that Mr Ouattara was the winner, and the result was certified by the UN.

Looks like stage one is almost over.
