Ivory Coast exiles set up strategic command in Ghana - U.N. panel


UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Exiles supporting Ivory Coast's former president Laurent Gbagbo have established a base in neighbouring Ghana from which they are working to destabilize the current Ivorian government, according to excerpts from a new report by a U.N. expert panel.

The supporters of Gbagbo, who is in The Hague awaiting trial for crimes against humanity, have a "military structure," have hired mercenaries in Ghana and Liberia and have established several training camps in eastern Liberia, the report said.
