The African Union agreed to set up a panel to help resolve Ivory Coast's political crisis, with its conclusions to be delivered within a month, a senior official said. "The panel will conclude its work within a period not exceeding one month and the conclusions, which will be endorsed by the council, will be binding on all the Ivorian parties with which the conclusion would have been negotiated," the chairman of the African Union Commission, Jean Ping, said late Friday after hours of negotiations in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, according to a report of the German Press Agency "DPA."
