A soldier of the UN Operation in Ivory Coast (ONUCI) checks a weapon seized during the post-election political crisis in Ivory Coast at a military base in Abidjan. The Ivorian government yesterday launched a new census of ex-combatants involved in the deadly post-election crisis of 2010-2011 and President Alassane Ouattara has promised to reform the army and tackle the problem of ex-fighters, many of whom have kept their weapons.
