West African leaders are holding an emergency summit to discuss the political crisis in Ivory Coast.
Neither of Ivory Coast's would-be presidents were invited to the meeting, held Tuesday in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
The Economic Community of West African States is one of several international bodies that have called on the incumbent president, Laurent Gbagbo, to accept election results that show him losing to rival Alassane Ouattara.
Mr. Gbagbo maintains that he won the November election and has named a new prime minister, who presented a new cabinet to reporters in Abidjan Tuesday.
Mr. Ouattara and his ally, incumbent Prime Minister Guillaume Soro, have named their own government, raising fears of a new conflict in Ivory Coast.
The presidential election was meant to bring stability to the country, where a 2002 civil war split the country into a rebel-controlled north and government-run south.
United Nations agencies began pulling foreign staffers out of the country on Tuesday. On Monday, the U.N. said it would relocate about 460 staff to Gambia and Senegal because of fears of violence. VOANews
