Sporadic shooting has been sounding in the port city of San Pedro in Ivory Coast, as deadly protests by mutinous soldiers spread across the country.

Ceoafrica gathered that the shooting came just hours after the reopening of the main port in the commercial capital, Abidjan, which was closed following earlier unrest.

A rebellion among troops over pay started nearly two weeks ago, but the government led by President Alassane Quattara agreed to meet their demands.

More disgruntled soldiers, who weren't part of the deal, have taken to the streets since Tuesday demanding similar payments.
