Reuters. Riots in Ivory Coast after elections

Rioters erected makeshift barricades and burned tyres in parts of Ivory Coast on Monday to protest at the results of local elections, witnesses said.

Police used teargas to break up the demonstrations by supporters of losing candidates, who took to the streets even before the elections commission, the CEI, began announcing official results. Ten people were injured.

The world's top cocoa grower, Ivory Coast is emerging from a decade of political crisis, which saw it split between northern rebels and government loyalists in the south following a failed coup in 2002.
