The acquittal of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo by the International Criminal Court could suggest that the current head of state is responsible for the atrocities that cost the lives of more than 3,000 people during the post-election crisis in 2010-2011.
However, the two Ivorian personalities were prosecuted for crimes against humanity and war crimes, in the context of the violence committed between December 2010 and April 2011. The charges followed the announcement of the results of the presidential elections in favour of the current head of state, Alassane Ouattara.
At the cost of the blood of many thousands of Ivorians? Nothing is less certain. Now that Laurent Gbagbo has been acquitted, ten years after being accused, eyes are inevitably turning to the current Ivorian head of state, Alassane Dramane Ouattara, who could therefore be the main person responsible for the massacres of 2010-2011. He has broken the sinister record of a head of state who has lost two prime ministers in the space of eight months.
