In pictures: Ivory Coast protests

Supporters of President Laurent Gbagbo in Ivory Coast have been protesting for four days against the French-brokered peace accord which put an end to four months of civil war.

Anti-French protests have given way to pro-US ones, as Washington is asked to intervene

However, the US is unlikely to come out against the peace accord

Protesters insist they do not want rebels in the government

Instead, Mr Gbagbo's supporters want him to retain his powers

As violence continued, security was increased at the French embassy
