TOUMODI, Ivory Coast (Reuters) - Protestors marched through cities in Ivory Coast on Monday, some burning tyres or throwing stones at soldiers and police, who dispersed them by firing tear gas and live rounds into the air, witnesses said.

Protests have erupted almost daily in the world's top cocoa grower since President Laurent Gbagbo dissolved the government and the electoral commission on Feb. 12. The military killed at least five protesters at a rally on Friday.
