Peace talks under way as Ivory Coast evacuations escalate
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast -- Staring with tears in their eyes, Ivory Coast's people emerged from their homes Thursday to survey the wreckage of five days of violent upheaval and stock up on food.

France and other Western nations flew out hundreds of their nationals in a second round of evacuations.

South African President Thabo Mbeki opened talks Thursday in Pretoria with the country's political representatives, including opposition leader and former Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara.

A spokesman for Ivory Coast's main insurgency said they would not participate.
