Bamba alleged there had been a "massive violation of human rights", with more than 170 people killed during street demonstrations.... "If houses are being marked according to your tribe, what is going to be next?
"Bamba said he planned to meet every member of the UN security council. "I intend to meet all the 15 members to explain to them the gravity of the situation … We expect theUN to be credible and to prevent violation and to prevent the election to be stolen from the people."
The UN has said its personnel were prevented by security forces accompanied by masked men with rocket launchers preventedfrom reaching the scene of a mass grave identified by witnesses in a pro-Gbagbo residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of Abidjan.
Simon Munzu, the head of the UN human rights division, said investigators got as far as the front door of a building where between 60 and 80 bodies are believed to be before being forced to leave.
A second mass burial site is believed to be located near Gagnoa in the interior of the country, the UN said.
"We would be the very first to say that these stories are false if they turn out to be false," Munzu said. "Our findings on the matter would have a greater chance of being believed than these repeated denials."
Gbagbo's government has repeatedly denied that mass graves exist.
The 28 November election was meant to reunite Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, after a 2002-3 civil war. But a dispute over the results has provoked lethal street clashes and threatens to restart open conflict.
