A soldier in the Ivorian Army brandishes his gun in front of thousands of young supporters of (departing) Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo who gathered to enrol in the Ivorian army, on March 21, 2011 in Abidjan. Fervent backers of Ivory Coast strongman Laurent Gbagbo streamed to enlist in his armed forces today as the UN faced pressure to do more to protect civilians in soaring post-election bloodshed. Gbagbo, who refuses to cede power after disputed November polls, is seeking to boost his army and quash efforts by fighters backing internationally recognised president Alassane Ouattara to seize the economic capital Abidjdan.
