At least 505 of the victims were killed in western city of Du\u00e9kou\u00e9, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The violence erupted last December when former president Laurent Gbagbo refused to step down after he lost the UN-certified presidential run-off election in November to Alassane Ouattara. Mr. Ouattara was sworn in earlier this month after Mr. Gbagbo surrendered in April.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ngefa said the UN report cited several human rights violations linked to clashes between the Defence and Security Forces (FDS), militias and mercenaries, on the one hand, and the Republican Forces of C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire (FRCI) and traditional hunters, on the other.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Certain civilians also committed acts of looting and reprisals,&#8221; Mr. Ngefa added.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that despite the end of the post-electoral crisis, the humanitarian situation in C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire remained &#8220;alarming&#8221; for tens of thousands of civilians.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106020104.html\" title=\"Death Toll in Post-Election Violence Surpassed 1,000 - UN\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Death Toll in Post-Election Violence Surpassed 1,000 &#8211; UN<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 26 May 2011 The United Nations peacekeeping mission in C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire (UNOCI) reported today that post-election violence that began last December had killed more than 1,000 people in the western part of the country before it came to an end last month.
