Ivory Coast sealed all its borders yesterday after its election commission declared challenger Alassane Ouattara provisional winner of a presidential run-off, a result the top legal body rejected.
The Constitutional Council, the body that must ratify the result that judged President Laurent Gbagbo loser of the poll, said the commission's announcement was illegal.
Ivory Coast's military later sealed air, land and sea borders, without giving any reasons for the move.
