.- The Chief of Staff of the Ivorian army, General Philippe Mangou, met with the outgoing president at his residence in Abidjan, after leaving the South African embassy where he sought refuge on Wednesday, said government spokesman Laurent Gbagbo. "General Mangou was presented to his military colleagues in the field.
We do not know if it is to take direction. I do not have enough information," said Ahoua Don Mello. "Today (Sunday) I saw him at the residence of President Gbagbo with colleagues. He will make statements, maybe tomorrow (Monday)," he added. Images of a meeting with General Mangou Gbagbo and other senior officers were released Sunday night on state television, RTI, but it was not possible to know when dating.
A diplomatic source had indicated before the general Mangou Sunday had left the residence of the ambassador of South Africa in Abidjan, where he sought refuge with his family on Wednesday. His defection came on the offensive against the forces of Abidjan president recognized by the international community Alassane Ouattara.
On Sunday night, Ouattara television, TCI Channel, confirmed the departure of General Mangou and said it was a "close friend" of Gbagbo. The channel, through a ribbon text, also gave an explanation for the changed attitude of the military, "General Mangou is subject to blackmail and pressure, the field Gbagbo took hostage members of his family."
