Fighting broken out again in Ivory Coast

Sporadic fighting has broken out again in Ivory Coast's man city Abidjan between supporters of two rival Presidents. Allassane Ouattara and Laurent Gbagbo. A spokesman for the Ouattara government said President Gbagbo now only controls the presidential palace and the presidential residence and they were simply neutralising pockets of resistance. But Abidjan residents reported a more mixed picture with armed groups loyal to both sides roaming around the city. Media reports say that so far, the Ouattara forces have been unable to capture any of the key targets they have been fighting to control since Thursday including the presidential offices and residence, state television and the major barrack.
