Former Ivory Coast rebel leader Guillaume Soro said he would not drop out of presidential elections set for later this year, despite an arrest warrant against him
PARIS - Former Ivory Coast rebel leader Guillaume Soro said on Tuesday he would not drop out of presidential elections set for the end of the year, despite an arrest warrant out against him.
Ivory Coast’s public prosecutor issued the warrant for Soro on Dec. 23 as part of an investigation into an alleged coup plot. Soro added that his lawyers had placed a request with French prosecutors for his rights to be respected, and will do the same with the regional West African Court of Justice, the African Court on Human and People’s Rights, and the United Nations.
Soro said there could be a pre-electoral crisis in Ivory Coast. “I must return to Ivory Coast. We will organize ourselves to make sure that my entry to Ivory Coast is possible.”
