President Alassane Ouattara pardons General Bruno Dogbo Blé and 50 other personalities. This grace comes in a context of national cohesion, following the coronation of the Elephants at the 34th African Cup of Nations.
Since his return to Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo had made the release of civilian and military prisoners a point of discussion. Most of the personalities listed by the PPA-CI have been pardoned, believes Jean Gervais Tcheïdé, the party's secretary general.
