Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara on Saturday said he had offered a presidential pardon to long-time rival Laurent Gbagbo, as part of a reconciliation drive with his predecessors ahead of elections in 2025.

Gbagbo, President from 2000-2011, returned to Ivory Coast last year after being acquitted in 2019 by the Hague on war crimes charges for his role in a civil war sparked by his refusal to concede defeat after the 2010 election.

“In order to further strengthen social cohesion, I have signed a decree granting a presidential pardon to Laurent Gbagbo,” Ouattara said in a televised speech to the nation ahead of its Independence Day on Sunday. The decision follows a rare meeting in July between Ouattara, Gbagbo, and former President Henri Konan Bedie.

Tensions came to a head most dramatically after the 2010 election. Gbagbo refused to concede defeat, leading to a brief civil war that killed about 3 000 people before rebel forces aligned with Ouattara swept into the main city Abidjan.

This is a bluff, in the first place, the whole trial in 2018 was a kangaroo trial. It was a total embarrassment to the justice system in the country, that is why Mr. Gbagbo has never seen the inside of the prison since his 'guilty verdict'.
