科特迪瓦槍手打死10名親巴博士兵

OfficiAls in Ivory Coast say gunmen have killed 10 troops loyal to incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo. Authorities say gunmen attacked the troops Tuesday in the commercial capital, Abidjan. The attack took place in the Abobo neighborhood, where most residents back Mr. Gbagbo's rival for the presidency, Alassane Ouattara. Mr. Ouattara is the U.N.-certified winner of a presidential vote in November. Mr. Gbagbo has defied international calls to cede power to his rival.
A team of four African heads of state met with the two presidents in Abidjan this week, in an effort to reach an end to the standoff. The African Union panel now has one week to decide how the impasse should end. The AU says the panel's decisions will be legally binding. But the AU has no way to enforce those decisions.

科特迪瓦官員說，槍手打死了10名效忠現任總統巴博的士兵。當局說，槍手星期二在商業首都阿比讓對這些士兵發起襲擊。襲擊事件發生在阿博博社區。這裏的大多數居民支持巴博的對手瓦塔拉出任總統。瓦塔拉是聯合國認可的去年11月總統選舉的獲勝者。巴博一直抵制要求他把權力交給他的對手的國際呼聲。

這個星期，由四位非洲國家元首組成的小組在阿比讓分別會晤了這兩位總統，力圖結束這場對峙。這個非盟小組現在有一個星期的時間來決定這場僵局該如何結束。非盟說，這個小組的決定將具有法律約束力。但是非盟沒有使這些決定得以實施的手段。
