Ex-soldiers seize control of Ivory Coast's 2nd largest city
Demobilised soldiers seized Ivory Coast's second-largest city Bouake on Friday and gunfire has erupted at a military camp in another town allegedly over payment of money they believed they are owed. The soldiers, mostly former rebels, had seized weapons from police stations. A similar uprising occurred in 2014 when soldiers barricaded roads in several cities demanding payment of back wages.
