Ivorian justice: “Mr. Prosecutor Brama Koné, justice must be the same for everyone, without exception”

Marie Odette Lorougnon, vice-president of Laurent Gbagbo’s PPACI, accuses Côte d’Ivoire’s justice system of treating cases differently and challenges prosecutor Brama Koné on its impartiality. She cites alleged violence against landowners in Kossandji, public statements celebrating the Nahio massacres, and Bob le Mannequin, who she says claimed responsibility for violence against Ivorian citizens. She questions why Bob le Mannequin was not investigated after returning to Abidjan and being received by ruling-party officials, and also refers to statements by the “General Fôgnon” about fighting alongside Alassane Ouattara.
