Arms for Gbagbo
The UN yesterday accused Belarus of breaking an arms embargo on Ivory Coast by delivering attack helicopters to former president Laurent Gbagbo in support of his bid to retain power.
The arms were delivered during a week of gun battles between forces loyal to Gbagbo and those of his rival, Alassane Ouattara, almost universally recognised as the winner of a November presidential poll.
Gunfire erupted close to the centre of the country's commercial capital, Abidjan, yesterday after a week of fighting in which a suburb was seized by insurgents who briefly knocked out the state TV and military communications transmitters.
