Credit: Reuters/Thierry Gouegnon By Loucoumane Coulibaly ABIDJAN | Sat Nov 27, 2010 3:44pm EST ABIDJAN (Reuters) - At least three people were killed in the Ivory Coast capital Abidjan on Saturday when police opened fire on a crowd, a local official said, despite efforts to maintain calm before Sunday's presidential run-off. Army chief of staff General Phillipe Mangou said a night-time curfew would take effect from Saturday through Wednesday, citing scuffles between youths wielding sticks, machetes and guns in which at least four people were killed and dozens injured in and around Abidjan. Ivorians vote on Sunday in an election that will test whether they can put a decade of north-south division behind them following a 2002-2003 war which split the once prosperous West African country. Yves Doumbia, a spokesman for the mayor in Abidjan's Abobo neighbourhood, said crowds had gathered and become unmanageable. "The police used teargas and fired live rounds at a crowd, killing three and wounding seven," Doumbia said. After a peaceful first round, President Laurent Gbagbo is squaring off against Alassane Ouattara, his rival from the rebel-controlled north, in what is expected to be a close second round. Many fear large-scale violence if the result is disputed. SECURITY MEASURES It was not immediately clear why the crowds had gathered but Abobo is regarded as a pro-Ouattara district and opposition neighborhoods have criticized the curfew as a ploy to allow vote-rigging to take place. "It is our duty to sound the alarm and put security measures in place to save lives," Mangou said. "We don't want any more deaths, we don't want any more injuries." Ouattara and Gbagbo were polite with each other in a televised debate overnight but divisive rhetoric by the two candidates and clashes between supporters this week have soured the mood. "As you see, the style of the head-to-head on the television that was appreciated by everyone did not have an effect on the behavior of the militants. On the contrary, we have seen a resurgence in violence," Mangou said. He said there had been "some deaths" overnight, listing at least two, and many people had been wounded, including 10 seriously in one battle. Another two people were killed in clashes on Thursday, the Interior Ministry said in a statement on Friday. The curfew runs from 10 p.m. (2200 GMT) to 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. "The curfew will not have any impact on the transparency of the election," Mangou said.
