There are reports that Ivory Coast’s entrenched leader Laurent Gbagbo is negotiating his surrender from a bunker beneath his residence in the city of Abidjan. A spokesman for Gbagbo said that his home has been fired upon and hit at least 50 times by a United Nations Mi-24 helicopter. The BBC’s John James reports from Ivory Coast. He says that fighting hasn’t ceased and it’s unclear what the terms of the negotiation are. Peter Pham, director of the Michael S. Ansaari Africa Center at the Atlantic Council in Washington helps contextualize the fighting.
