Fifteen associates of the former President of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, have been charged with forming armed groups, economic crimes and undermining the state. Ivory Coast's new President Alassane Ouattara has promised to bring to justice those responsible for post-election violence, which left more than 3,000 people dead. From the main city Abidjan, John James reports.

These are the first official charges brought so far and include seven ministers from the Gbagbo government as well as the former governor of the West African central bank, who allegedly helped the former president access frozen state bank accounts. Mr Gbagbo himself has yet to be charged and remains under house arrest in the north of the country. The new government has promised to end impunity. But so far, only pro-Gbagbo supporters have been arrested, despite the findings of a UN Human Rights Council report earlier this month that both sides had committed atrocities.
