In Côte d’Ivoire, according to La Lettre du Continent, President Alassane Ouattara has just signed the delivery of a diplomatic passport to Laurent Gbagbo. According to our colleagues, this would pave the way for his return to the country. Laurent Gbagbo’s entourage says he is not aware of such a decision. But there is a scenario of handing over a passport to Laurent Gbagbo within the authorities.
A few days before the presidential election on October 31, Alassane Ouattara had told RFI and France 24 that he did not put an obstacle in handing over his passport to Laurent Gbagbo. “As far as I know, the passport is issued, even Alassane Ouattara explained. It’s no problem. “
Two weeks later, a good source of power goes further and describes the scenario which, according to her, is currently being considered: Laurent Gbagbo explains this source, would receive a diplomatic passport. Procedures could be initiated very soon in connection with the accreditation of Ivorian envoys.
But our interlocutor refuses to comment on the time that will be necessary for the process to end. He also specified: “The establishment of a passport does not mean that Laurent Gbagbo will be able to return to Côte d’Ivoire immediately.”
Laurent Gbagbo is still under battle, in fact the so-called “robbery” case of the West African Central Bank (BCEAO) and this aspect of things will require political consideration.
