The Ivory Coast's leader Laurent Gbagbo has denied widespread reports he is surrendering after troops loyal to his rival surrounded his home in Abidjan.
Speaking by phone from his bunker, he said his military were only negotiating a truce and insisted he had won November's presidential election.
Troops loyal to the internationally recognised winner, Alassane Ouattara, swept into Abidjan earlier this week.
