Alassane Ouattara's government said its
troops had overrun the home of Laurent Gbagbo, who refuses
to step down, and were scouring the compound for him.
His forces have taken much of the rest of the country
and have now poured into the city in a bid to push Gbagbo
out of power.
Yesterday, french helicopters had earlier taken part in
UN-led operations aimed at knocking out Gbagbo’s
heavy weapons.
