Côte d'Ivoire: Who is responsible for the Duékoué killings?
05.04.2011
Supporters of Laurent Gbagbo and presidential rival Alassane Ouattara are trading accusations over the reported deaths of hundreds of civilians in the western Ivoirian town of Duékoué. Residents of Duékoué said the killings on 30 March were a 'settling of scores' facilitated by the capture of the town by pro-Ouattara forces. Ouattara has denied his forces are responsible for the deaths of over 800 civilians, but the internationally recognised president is facing tough questions from human rights groups.
