Washington remains “very concerned”

Washington “remains very concerned about recent developments in Cote d’Ivoire”, the spokesman of the US State Department, James Rubin, said on Wednesday. “We call on both the opposition and the government to exercise restraint, act within the law in a manner which supports democratic principles, and respect public services and order,” Rubin said in a statement. “We urge the opposition to refrain from illegal acts and violence and the government to act impartially and within the bounds of established legal procedure,” he added.
