Former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo has reignited political tensions with remarks criticizing what he calls President Alassane Ouattara’s bid for a “fourth term.”
Speaking as leader of the PPA-CI party, Gbagbo denounced Ouattara’s intentions ahead of the October election, a claim that has sparked swift responses across the political spectrum.
Analysts are divided: some warn of rising pre-election tensions, while others say the current standoff was inevitable after Ouattara confirmed his candidacy.
