Various motorcade leaving the presidential palace\u003cbr/\u003eWest African leaders, who came to Ivory Coast to deliver an ultimatum to incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo, met him late into the night on Tuesday after threatening a military ouster if he doesn't accept an offer to go into exile a month after disputed elections.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, the United Nations mission said a peacekeeper had been wounded with a machete when a large crowd encircled a convoy and set one of its vehicles on fire.\u003cbr/\u003eThe regional delegation, led by presidents from Sierra Leone, Cape Verde and Benin, held meetings with both Gbagbo and internationally recognised election winner Alassane Ouattara.\u003cbr/\u003eSierra Leone's Ernest Bai Koroma, Benin leader Dr. Thomas Yayi Boni and Pedro Pires, President of Cape Verde then returned to meet Gbagbo a second time later on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eGbagbo, the incumbent leader who has been in power for a decade in Ivory Coast, has so far shown no interest in stepping aside, despite the calls for him to go.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Ouattara has been endorsed by most of the world, Gbagbo still maintains control of Ivory Coast's military and security forces.\u003cbr/\u003eWeeks of post-election violence have left at least 173 people dead, according to the UN, although the toll is believed to be much higher. \u003cbr/\u003eThe UN said it has been unable to investigate reports of a mass grave because of restrictions on UN personnel movements.\u003cbr/\u003eThere were also growing concerns about violence targeting peacekeepers since Gbagbo called for the UN mission, known as UNOCI, to leave earlier this month.\u003cbr/\u003eThe regional leaders had hoped to persuade Gbagbo to leave Ivory Coast with them after the one-day mission, saying he would be offered asylum in neighbouring countries.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 15-nation regional bloc ECOWAS threatened to use \"legitimate force\" if Gbagbo does not relinquish power. Nigeria has the strongest army in the region and is expected to play a major role if an operation is launched to oust Gbagbo.\u003cbr/\u003eOuattara's camp has been confident in recent days that such help is coming.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's not a bluff,\" one senior Ouattara adviser said Monday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. \"The soldiers are coming much faster than anyone thinks.\"\u003cbr/\u003eECOWAS has intervened in past disputes, including the seizing of Sierra Leone's capital in 1998 that forced military junta leaders to flee and allowed an elected president to return to power. \u003cbr/\u003eECOWAS also intervened in Liberia in 1990 and its forces stayed for several years, and it has sent troops to Guinea-Bissau as well.\u003cbr/\u003eSome analysts feel an ECOWAS mission in Ivory Coast would entail a full-scale invasion, causing numerous civilian casualties.\u003cbr/\u003eUS State Department spokesman Mark Toner on Tuesday commended ECOWAS' leadership, and said that the United States was prepared \"to take even stronger actions - such as financial sanctions - as needed.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe French government said its forces in Ivory Coast would protect French citizens but wouldn't be making any decisions about an international military intervention.\u003cbr/\u003eMany Ivorians are terrified of Gbagbo's security forces. Human rights groups blame security forces associated with Gbagbo for hundreds of arrests and dozens of cases of torture and disappearances since the election.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Tuesday a group of Liberians who have been living in Ivory Coast also staged a protest outside the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in Abidjan.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Liberians say they have been falsely accused of attacking Ivorian citizens homes and some of them have been beaten because of the reports.\u003cbr/\u003eLiberian refugee Jackson said the group was calling for refugee status somewhere outside of Ivory Coast.\u003cbr/\u003e''We are asking for security. If we can, if there is a possibility for us to leave this place and be secure somewhere else, we will be ok,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eGbagbo has been in power since 2000 and had already overstayed his mandate by five years when the long-delayed presidential election was finally held in October, with the runoff coming in November. \u003cbr/\u003eThe election was intended to help reunify a country that was divided by a 2002-2003 civil war into a rebel-controlled north and a loyalist south.\u003cbr/\u003eThe UN was tasked with certifying the results of the election as part of a peace agreement that ended the civil war.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Ivory Coast was officially reunited in a 2007 peace deal, Ouattara still draws his support from the northern half of the country, where residents feel they are often treated as foreigners within their own country by southerners.\u003cbr/\u003eThe regional bloc ECOWAS is comprised of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
