During the day of 17 March 2011, a tank from a military camp was shelled on the market Abobo district of Abidjan acquired elected president Alassane Ouattara. "Officially, we're talking about 12 dead, but there are certainly more as shells exploded in courses located around [near the station UTB]. (...) There too, it saves the dead" said one local resident journalists from Ivorian daily L'Inter.
The newspaper said that according to other corroborating sources, the human toll could be much heavier. The UN reported 25 to 30 deaths. The killing was due to retaliation from soldiers loyal to Laurent Gbagbo, rebel against the ex-pro-Ouattara who control much of Abobo. %20(Large).jpg)
