ABIDJAN (AFP) - Police fired tear gas to disperse a banned protest on Saturday in the economic capital of the Ivory Coast by supporters of former president Laurent Gbagbo, an AFP reporter said.

Fifty young people shouting "Free Gbagbo" were pushed back while they tried to charge a barrier set up by police, who fired tear gas and caused the protesters to disperse.
