On 7 August, the presence of Laurent Gbagbo and Henri Konan Bédié alongside Alassane Ouattara in Yamousoukro for the celebration of the anniversary of Côte d’Ivoire’s independence was supposed to seal the reconciliation between the current and former presidents. Unfortunately, politics once again decided otherwise.
