ECOWAS lauds “spirit of concord”

    ABIDJAN

    Leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Wednesday praised “the spirit of concord displayed during the recent municipal elections in Cote d’Ivoire”, held on 25 March. Participants in an ECOWAS extraordinary summit also called on the Ivorian authorities to “continue to promote national reconciliation among the country’s sons and daughters”. Observers found that the elections were generally fair although they were marred by violence in a few areas in the southwest of the country between people indigenous to the area and migrants from other parts of Cote d’Ivoire who supported opposing candidates.
