Bouaké (Ivory Coast) (AFP) - One person died Sunday after mutinous soldiers took to the streets in Ivory Coast's central second city Bouake as fresh tensions gripped the world's top cocoa grower. The fatality was among five men and a mother-of-three who were hospitalised after being struck by warning shots fired to keep residents inside their homes, an AFP photographer saw. "(He), Issouf Diawara, finally died from his bullet wounds," his brother Souleymane Diawara told AFP.
Relations between the United States and Russia, at their lowest level since the Cold War, will not restart "with a clean slate," Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday. The former ExxonMobil CEO, who was decorated in 2013 by Russian President Vladimir Putin, had said previously that the relationship between the two nuclear powers had hit its lowest point since the Soviet collapse in 1991.
