BOUAKE, Ivory Coast (Reuters) – Ivory Coast Defence Minister Alain-Richard Donwahi arrived in Bouake, the country’s second largest city, on Saturday to meet with disgruntled soldiers behind a revolt that has spread across the West African nation.
“I came, as promised, to meet with our brothers. I am there to reassure them, as the president asked me to,” he said before meeting with the mutineers. “We are going to listen and find a solution.”
