The news of the arrest of former Ivorian president, Gbagbo was greeted with a sign of relief. This guy who was a university professor and deemed to have known better ignored the wishes of his people and gambled with the precious lives of innocent Ivorians.
In the end, Mr. Gbagbo's gamble did not pay off but the sad part is that he has plunged his country into a precarius and volatile state demanding measured steps going forward.
So far Mr. Quattara (arguably responsible for some of the atrocities) has made all the right calls. I am glad he is shying away from witch-hunting and calling on all Ivorians to look forward. May God grant him wisdom to navigate this tough assignment.
