Guillaume Soro Gone Quiet

June 19, 2023 by admin Leave a Comment

It’s been weeks since the press has heard about Guillaume Soro. Usually, the politician himself and/or his closest cabinet were present, daily, on most of the Ivorian influential platforms.

The last time the former Speaker of the Parliament was mentioned was five weeks ago in AfricaNews where he was quoted asserting his intentions to candidate for the presidential elections in 2025.

“There is no reason” not to be a candidate in the next presidential election, Guillaume Soro said. Neither prison nor exile is a brake on a career, on a political destiny. During my exile (…) I went everywhere, to America, Europe, the Middle East” to “make contacts, participate in meetings and private appointments”, he said.

According to Africa Intelligence, Téné Birahima Ouattara, younger Brother of Alassane Ouattara and also Defence Minister has made it his intention to isolate Soro Guillaume from his party friends.

“The Ivorian defense minister has discreetly met with several members of the inner circle of the leading political opponent in Paris of late. A move that may be designed to isolate him further from his main allies.”

President Laurent Gbagbo On A Trip To Europe

June 19, 2023 by admin Leave a Comment

According to the Ivorian News Website IvoireBusiness.net, Laurent Gbagbo was seen at the airport Houphouet-Boigny on Friday, leaving Abidjan for a European destination.

He left Abidjan on the evening of Friday, June 16, 2023, aboard a commercial airplane of an airline operating the Abidjan-Paris route and vice versa. The former Ivorian head of state was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Nady Bamba, and some members of his domestic staff. As usual, Laurent Gbagbo brought joy and shared his good mood with the people present yesterday at the VIP Lounge of Abidjan Airport before leaving Ivorian soil.

This trip comes at a time when the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) has just closed the doors of the electoral dispute. The main points of contention are numerous irregularities found in the provisional voter list. But above all, Laurent Gbagbo’s removal from the voter list. This situation continues to dominate the political news in Côte d’Ivoire.

According to insiders, the leader of the PPA-CI party has important appointments to fulfill in some European capitals. According to our sources, the former head of state will take the opportunity of his presence in Europe to recharge his batteries. This is in preparation for his full participation in the electoral campaign for the Regional and Municipal elections scheduled for September. His party, the PPA-CI, is involved on several fronts. The date of President Laurent Gbagbo’s return to Côte d’Ivoire is currently unknown.
