“In order to address the concerns of Ivorians and to curtail the suffering of the population, the full cabinet will meet in the premier’s offices,” Soro said in a statement to news organisations.

On Thursday Soro intends to take over the state broadcaster, Radiodiffusion Television Ivoirienne, and put in place a new director general.
