by Sara Atteby | 4 décembre 2010 0 h 13 min

The U.N. Security Council failed on Friday to agree to a statement backing Ivory Coast’s opposition presidential candidate Alassane Ouattara as the victor due to objections from Russia, U.N. diplomats said.

« There won’t be anything tonight, » a Western diplomat told Reuters on condition of anonymity. « We’re still working on it. »

Several diplomats said Russia objected to the idea of the council endorsing any candidate.
