In news from Ivory Coast, the United Nations is warning that forces loyal to President Laurent Gbagbo may have committed crimes against humanity last week when they shelled a market in Abidjan killing at least 25 people. United Nations officials say more than 435 people have been killed since last year’s disputed presidential election. This is Rupert Colville of the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Rupert Colville: “It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that this is an international crime, quite possibly a crime against humanity. And we are very concerned about the situation, in general, in Côte d’Ivoire, which seems to be deteriorating yet further.”
