News story CONCERN AT GROWING TENSION IN COTE D'IVOIRE Minister for Africa Henry Bellingham said that everyone must "accept the will of the Ivorian people" as expressed in the


Presidential election. This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government “The UK remains very concerned by the growing tension in Cote


d’Ivoire. Everyone must accept the will of the Ivorian people as expressed at the Presidential election on 28 November. Those who do not, and who threaten the stability of the country will


bear the consequences of their actions. The decision taken at yesterday’s European Union Foreign Affairs Council makes clear the EU position as part of a united international community


(including the African Union, ECOWAS and the UN), and signals the EU’s intention to adopt restrictive measures against individuals who threaten the peace process and challenge the proper


outcome of the elections.” SHARE THIS PAGE The following links open in a new tab * Share on Facebook (opens in new tab) * Share on Twitter (opens in new tab) UPDATES TO THIS PAGE Published
