Ivorian leader orders warlord to lay down arms
None
President Alassane Ouattara on Friday ordered a renegade warlord who led two coups in the Ivory Coast to lay down his arms or be forcibly disarmed.
In a hard-hitting statement in his role as commander in chief of the armed forces, Ouattara sought Friday to resolve the biggest challenge to confront his fledgling government since the April 11 arrest of the West African nation's disgraced former strongman. (AP)
