ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) - This war-divided nation's president raised questions Thursday about a U.N. Security Council vote that extended Ivory Coast's transitional government for a year and curbed his powers in favor of the prime minister.
The resolution, passed Wednesday, endorsed an African Union decision to give Prime Minister Charles Konan Banny control of the security forces and other powers that would enable him to reunite the nation and organize repeatedly delayed elections before November 2007.
Supporters of President Laurent Gbagbo are staunchly opposed to any curbs on his power, however.
