Inside the Battle for Ivory Coast

For four months the incumbent president, Laurent Gbagbo, had clung to \power despite losing to rival Alassane Outtara in the UN-backed \elections. On arrival, Rhodes and Nott find themselves stranded in the \commercial capital Abidjan, as both sides embark upon a bloody battle \for control. As thousands try to flee, roadblocks are set up all over \the city by Gbagbo supporters, who steal and kill at will. The \programme-makers are held at gunpoint, beaten up and robbed. Even when \the fighting is over the crew are attacked when visiting wounded people \in hospital.
