On air at 1700&1800GMT: Latest from Ivory Coast

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 14:12 UK time, Wednesday, 6 April 2011

This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 6 April 2011. Listen to the programme.

Alain Juppe, the French Foreign Minister, has called it 'absurd stubbornness. Call it what you will, but Laurent Gbagbo is, we think, still holding out in his Abidjan residence. This despite it coming under fierce attack from forces loyal to Alassane Ouattara. This is what we're aiming for on the two later editions of WHYS:

- The latest developments, with reports from ´óÏó´«Ã½ reporters and other journalists in the city.

- All being well, a UN spokesperson will again take your questions.

- Spokesmen for the two sides taking your questions.

- We'll go back to some of you in Abidjan who say your main fear is not the fighting but the looting. Yesterday, the UN told that law and order would start being re-introduced from today so we'd like to hear if it's happened.

- And we'll try and re-connect with some of you who have been forced to leave the city and are living in temporary homes in Liberia, Ghana and elsewhere in Ivory Coast.

I can't promise it will all happen, but with the WHYS producers working hard on it, I'd expect it to.

Mark writes, 'Even if the negotiations for the departure of Laurent Gbagbo succeed, Ivory Coast is entering a highly dangerous phase.' You can read the rest of his piece here.
