12:31 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe United Nations has accused forces loyal to Ivory Coast’s President Alassane Ouattara of unleashing violence in the south and west of the country.<\/p>\n
The troops killed, wounded and arrested dozens of people, the UN said.<\/p>\n
It said many residents had fled to forests, leaving villages empty.<\/p>\n
The attacks took place against communities suspected of supporting former Ivorian strongman Laurent Gbagbo.<\/p>\n
The UN mission in Ivory Coast said it wanted an immediate and impartial investigation into the violence.<\/p>\n
It said pro-Ouattara forces had used heavy weapons during the attacks. They had looted villages, and had carried out the mass arrest of youths.<\/p>\n
The violence was carried out by troops from the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
They captured Mr Gbagbo in April, with the backing of French and UN troops.<\/p>\n
At least 3,000 people were killed in months of violence after Mr Gbagbo refused to accept Mr Ouattara’s victory in presidential elections last year.<\/p>\n
Both sides in the conflict have been accused of atrocities.<\/p>\n
Mr Ouattara, who was sworn in last month, has promised an impartial investigation into the violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
