Protests in Abidjan over 46 Ivorian soldiers held in Mali

Description

Hundreds of people marched through Ivory Coast's port city of Abidjan Tuesday in solidarity with 46 soldiers who have been detained by neighbour Mali since July. The arrest of the troops that Mali accuses of being mercenaries has led to a diplomatic crisis that West African regional bloc ECOWAS is looking to resolve swiftly, with meetings on the sidelines of this weeks UN General Assembly.
