Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara has said he will not run in October's election, ending months of speculation over whether he would stand for a third term.
He said he believed power should be passed to the younger generation.
Mr Ouattara - who is 78 - had hinted previously that he could run again if his traditional rivals put themselves forward as candidates.
About 3,000 people were killed during post-election violence 10 years ago, when the former President Laurent Gbagbo refused to step down after losing to Mr Ouattara.

Good, he's a French PUPPET anyway. The likes of Gbagbo is what Ivorians need-a true AFRICAN BLOOD. #RETURNGBABGO
