The former president of Ivory Coast Henri Konan Bédié has died.

He was 89.

Mr Bédié took over as the country’s second head of state after the death of Félix Houphouët-Boigny in 1993.

But allegations of widespread corruption and an economic slump led to him being ousted in a military coup in 1999.
