(Euronews: 1556 PST, April 5, 2011) In Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo appears to be on the brink of finally agreeing to step down. The situation is confused however. Following earlier reports that he had already stepped down and asked for UN protection, Gbagbo has now told French television that he is not ready to give up at all: "I'm not a kamikaze. I love life. My voice is not the voice of a martyr. No no, I do not seek death! To die is not my goal here!"
