Monrovia - Ivory Coast refugees living in west African neighbour Liberia stormed their embassy on Monday to protest against their treatment by diplomatic representatives.
About 30 Ivorian men, women and children demanding the resignation of consul Prosper Kotchi pulled down the orange, white and green Ivorian flag outside the diplomatic mission and took one of the embassy vehicles.
They complained of neglect by embassy staff when they went to the mission for documents or help with identity cards.
Hundreds of Ivorian nationals fled across the border into Liberia to escape a civil war spawned by a September 2002 coup attempt against President Laurent Gbagbo.
