The BBC's John James is travelling around Ivory Coast ahead of the first presidential elections since the outbreak of civil war in 2002.

In his third report, he gauges the mood of Bouake in the formerly rebel-held north, where most of the New Forces fighters are now in barracks and many of the movement's political objectives have been achieved.
