Ivory Coast's president said a deal was reached Saturday to end a
two-day army mutiny that renewed security concerns in the world's top
cocoa producer and Africa's fastest-growing economy.
President Alassane Ouattara made the announcement during a cabinet meeting Saturday evening. Earlier in the day, his defense minister, Alain-Richard Donwahi, led a delegation to negotiate with disgruntled soldiers in the country's second-largest city, Bouake, where the mutiny that saw troops shooting their weapons began Friday morning.
