Violence Roils Ivory Coast
Security forces killed at least 16 demonstrators in Abidjan on Thursday as a massive march to demand implementation of a peace deal got under way in Ivory Coast, witnesses and opposition officials said.

Government officials denied soldiers or police had caused any fatalities.

The protesters were killed in different parts of the West African city as security forces tried to disperse crowds, said Bacongo Cisse, a spokesman for the main opposition Rally of the Republicans party. Witnesses gave similar accounts.

Djedje Mady, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast, raised the death toll to 16 — up from 12 — saying “very many people were wounded by bullets” and a number of others were arrested.
