France has submitted a draft resolution to the United Nations to ban heavy weapons in the Ivory Coast capital amid a violent post-election standoff in the top cocoa producer, President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday.
"France has submitted a draft resolution to the United Nations. It is a scandal that heavy weapons are being fired in Abidjan. At a minimum there should be no heavy weapons in Abidjan," Sarkozy told a news conference after a meeting of European leaders in Brussels.
