(Reuters) - The United Nations and
Washington criticised on Friday the suspension of six Ivory
Coast newspapers allied to the political party of former
President Laurent Gbagbo by the country's media authority.
The national press council suspended the dailies on Wednesday for publishing a photograph of Gbagbo with a government he named in defiance of the international community following his defeat at the polls in 2010.
