The U.N. chief has warned that Ivory Coast faces "a real risk" of return to civil war, and that U.N. peacekeepers will face a critical situation in the coming days unless Laurent Gbagbo removes a blockade around his opponent's headquarters.
The United Nations (U.N.) and other world leaders recognize Alassane Ouattara as the winner of last month's disputed presidential election. Gbagbo, the incumbent who refuses to acknowledge defeat and leave the presidency, has forces surrounding the building where his rival is based.
The U.N. has said that people inside are not getting needed medication, and that delivery of food and water also has been in an inferior position.
"Any attempt to starve the United Nations mission into submission will not be tolerated," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday.
