<p>Six female protesters have been machine gunned to death by security forces loyal to the leader clinging to power in the Ivory Coast.</p>
<p>The women were protesting at his refusal to leave office, as the UN said more than 200,000 people have fled the intensified fighting.</p>
<p>The demonstrators were cut down in the suburb of Abobo, scene of the bloodiest clashes in the three-month-long-crisis.</p>
<p>Mohamed Dosso, an assistant to the mayor of Abobo, said an armoured personnel carrier and several pick-up trucks appeared as the women were protesting and opened fire.</p>
<p>Groups of women have been leading marches believing that sitting president Laurent Gbagbo&#8217;s forces would not open fire on women.</p>
<p>Nearly 400 people have been killed since the disputed November 28 election, almost all of them men and almost all of them supporters of internationally recognised winner Alassane Ouattara.</p>
<p>The UN said that at least 26 people have been killed in Abobo in the last 24 hours alone.</p>
<p>The stand-off between the two men claiming to be president reached a new level recently as the army began using war-like weapons, including mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.</p>
<p>Multiple delegations of African leaders have come through Abidjan, Ivory Coast&#8217;s commercial hub, in an attempt to persuade Gbagbo to leave office. Gbagbo has rejected all their proposals, including offers of amnesty and a comfortable exile abroad.</p>
