Final push in Ivory Coast to oust Gbagbo

United Nations and French forces closed in on Ivory Coast's presidential palace Tuesday morning after launching full assaults on the residence of former president Laurent Gbagbo, and several offices and military bases under his control.

Forces supporting internationally recognized winner Alassane Ouattara have over the last week taken almost the entire countryside.

Now, with the help of international forces, the pro-Ouattara forces are closing in on Gbagbo’s strongholds in the country’s main city of Abijan.
