RTI went off air during the fighting on Thursday, while rival television
|
|
station RCI put out pictures of military leaders and defence ministry
|
|
officials calling on the armed forces to join Alassane Ouattara.
|
|
|
|
Ouatarra also told RCI that his forces were at Abidjan's gates and that Gbagbo
|
|
had only a few hours left to give himself up.
|
|
|
|
Defiant pro-Gbagbo fighters told RTI they remained loyal to Gbagbo and that
|
|
they would continue to defend the state television building.
|
|
|
|
One of the Ivorian soldiers said: "RTI was attacked. We liberated it. We won't
|
|
give in to anyone trying to take RTI.
|
|
|
|
"Tell yourselves that we are in a sovereign country and who ever dares, who
|
|
ever dares attack this country will find us on the way. We are Ivorians. We
|
|
are not mercenaries."
