Ivory Coast’s incumbent leader, Laurent Gbagbo, called on the population to “fight the rebels” after forces loyal to him shelled a market this week in Abidjan, killing as many as 30 people.
“Rebels are hidden in the civilian society, so we ask the people to collaborate with us, and let us inform so as to locate the rebels whom we consider terrorists,” Ahoua Don Mello, spokesman for Gbagbo’s government, said by phone from Abidjan.
