ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Ivory Coast’s opposition agreed Friday to join a new government, ending a standoff sparked when the president dissolved the last one. The move suggests the crisis will likely be resolved without further street demonstrations that have left at least five people dead.

Top opposition leader Alassane Ouattara told reporters Friday that the various opposition groups had agreed to take the 11 seats reserved for them in the 27-member Cabinet of President Laurent Gbagbo.
