Ivory Coast update
5th April 2011,
Gbagbo has sent Alcide Djédjé, his minister of foreign affairs and one of his closest advisors, to the French Embassy with orders to negotiate a cease-fire. Asked by RFI if Gbagbo is negotiating his departure, he said "that's a step I haven't been charged with. We'll have to attend to that issue in the coming hours."
The French Prime Minister François Fillon has said that two generals close to Gbagbo are currently negotiating his surrender, according to Reuters and AFP.
