The comments, published in the state-run Fraternite Matin newspaper on Friday, are the first signs from Gbagbo that he is ready for talks to end a deadlock after a top legal body named him as president, reversing election commission results that said rival Alassane Ouattara had clearly won the vote. Both men say they are serving as president, having named prime ministers and their respective governments. "We hear people say there will be war, that there will be an explosion. There will not be a war here. Things will end up with us sitting down (together)," Gbagbo was quoted as saying in the newspaper. "Let's sit down and talk. If there is a problem, we will sit down and talk." Ouattara has been recognized by world leaders, who have threatened sanctions against Gbagbo and his family, as well as the African Union and regional body ECOWAS, which have since suspended Ivory Coast until Ouattara takes up his post. The polls were due to help reunite the top cocoa grower, divided since a 2002-3 war. But rebels still running the north, where hundreds of thousands of votes were canceled by the pro-Gbagbo Constitutional Council to deliver his victory, have also backed Ouattara, raising fears that war may resume. DEBT WORRIES Cocoa prices fell 3.67 percent in London to 1,917 pounds per tone at 1400 GMT, coming off 4-month highs on supply fears from a country that supplies 40 percent of the market. The yield on Ivory Coast's Eurobond, meanwhile, stood near 12 percent, up from 10 percent just after the run-off, on fears the standoff could hurt its ability to meet payments. The next coupon is due in December. "It is a fairly small payment, due to the structure of the bond. It's only 1.25 percent interest ... or just below $30 million. The question is: who will actually pay it?" said Andreas Kolbe, emerging market credit strategist at Barclay's Capital, adding the following payment would be due in June. "As long as Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) keeps up the payments, the bond won't drop out of the EM benchmark indices." The IMF, World Bank and African Development Bank say they can only work with a U.N.-recognized government, raising the risk that Gbagbo's staying on would threaten $3 billion in debt relief, with budget support also being cut. Ouattara's camp was not immediately available for comment on Gbagbo's remarks, but it has said previously that it is ready for talks with him, provided that he yields power to Ouattara. Despite international pressure, Gbagbo retains the support of the military and state media, and controls government buildings 1 2 Next World We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
