Cote d'Ivoire Braces For Protests -- Al JazeeraReports of tear gas fired at protesters as internationally recognised vote winner prepares to seize control of state TV.
Ivorian forces have fired tear gas at protesters gathered in the north of the country to call for Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognised winner of last month's presidential election, to take office, reports say.
Thousands of protesters attempted to march to the town of Tiebissou on Tuesday when they were halted at a government checkpoint, the Reuters news agency reported.
