ABIDJAN - United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday said he is 'deeply alarmed' by a Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) minister's call to attack the headquarters of President-elect Alassane Ouattara.Côte d'Ivoire has been thrust into political uncertainty and violence after president Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede electoral defeat in last month's run-off elections. The UN and the international community has endorsed the victory of opposition leader and President-elect Alassane Ouattara, despite Gbagbo's claim to have won.
On Wednesday, Youth and Employment Minister Charles Blé Goudé called on the so-called Young Patriots to attack the Golf Hotel in Abidjan on Saturday and 'liberate' it with their 'bare hands'. The Golf Hotel is currently being used as Ouattara's headquarters.
