The violence broke out after C?te d'Ivoire disputed presidential election in November and intensified in total war, when the Ouattara forces launched an offensive they Abidjan.

As Gbagbo refused to relinquish power, the political stalemate plunged the West African nation in crisis.

The forces of Gbagbo used a lull in the fight against the week as a "trick" to strengthen their positions on the Abidjan, according to Alain Le Roy, the head of the United Nations peacekeeping operations.

They said Tuesday, they wanted a peaceful solution to the fight against the monthslong, but soon resumed bombing the headquarters of the United Nations and the civilian population, Le Roy said to journalists at the United Nations.

Since they have regained control of two central areas of Abidjan and the fighting continues, Le Roy said Friday, after briefing the Security Council of the United Nations on the evolution of the situation in the cocoa-producing countries.

"They have clearly used the lull in Tuesday as a trick to strengthen their position," he said.

Mark Toner, acting for the US State Department, Deputy spokesman issued a statement Saturday, echoing this idea.

"It is clear that attempts to Gbagbo negotiation this week were nothing more than a ruse to regroup and re-arm." Continuous attempt to Gbagbo to force a result that he could get to the ballot box shows his indifference to the well-being of the people of C?te d'Ivoire, who will suffer once more in the middle of heavy fighting in Abidjan, "he says.
