Ivory Coast: Rebels revamp military

Ivory Coast's rebels announced Wednesday they were restructuring their military to boost their presence on the front lines of the conflict that has divided the west African state for more than two years. "We will reinforce our presence on the front lines, and restructure our military to confront the real dangers (we face)," rebel spokesman Sidiki Konate told AFP by telephone from the rebel stronghold of Bouake in the center of the world's top cocoa producer.
