Soldiers rebel for the second time in four months because of broken government promises on pay.

Their first uprising ended in January; now disgruntled soldiers are staging another mutiny in Ivory Coast for the same reason.

On Sunday, the government reportedly gave the mutineers an ultimatum: to drop their demand for unpaid bonuses or order would be quickly restored.

Just 24 hours later, heavy gunfire was being heard in the two largest cities, Abidjan and Bouake.

Pro-government protesters demanding an end to the chaos have been shot.

So what will it take to end this uprising?
