On Wednesday,the UNSC had adopted a resolution with 15-0 votes in favour of sanctions against Gbagbo,his wife and aides for refusing to quit despite losing the November 2010 presidential election to Alassane Ouattara.

To that end,we have supported the efforts of the ECOWAS a regional west African body and African Union to find a political solution leading to restoration of democracy and will of the Ivoirian people at the earliest.
