Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo’s army chief has sought refuge at the home of South Africa’s ambassador in Abidjan, South Africa’s foreign ministry says.<\/p>\n

Phillippe Mangou was accompanied by his wife and children, a statement said.<\/p>\n

The news came as forces loyal to the UN-recognised president, Alassane Ouattara, were reported to be on the outskirts of the main city of Abidjan.<\/p>\n

Mr Gbagbo continues to cling to power in Abidjan, despite the UN saying he lost November’s poll.<\/p>\n

The UN has voted to impose sanctions on Mr Gbagbo’s circle.<\/p>\n

The BBC’s John James in the capital, Yamoussoukro, says almost the only area President Gbagbo still controls is Abidjan.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, pro-Ouattara forces captured Yamoussoukro, 240km (150 miles) north of Abidjan, and Mr Gbagbo’s home town of Gagnoa has also fallen.<\/p>\n

One million people have fled the violence – mostly from Abidjan – and at least 473 people have been killed since December, according to the UN.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The rest is here:
