"Ivory Coast rebels have seized a third town in the country's west, forces loyal to incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo said, while at least six people have died in violence around the main city Abidjan. U.S. President Barack Obama said he has authorized up to $12.6 million in aid to assist refugees from unrest in the Ivory Coast. An 8,000-strong United Nations force is trying to keep a stand-off between Ivory Coast's rival presidential claimants, Laurent Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara, from tipping into a civil war". The Human Rights Commission has formally opposed the extreme violence in the Ivory Coast.
