Apologies, I was slightly mistaken, I didn't remember all the details.
A quote from Alassane Ouattara:
But at 2.30pm the head of security came and said the tanks were just 100 metres from the house and we had to leave. The German ambassador's house is just the other side of the wall so we took ladders and moved into the ambassadors. They were already breaking through the iron gate of my residence.
That was around 3 o'clock and from there we stayed until midnight until we were moved from the German ambassador's house to the French embassy
