Former President Jerry John Rawlings has hailed the acquittal of ex- Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo by the International Criminal Court.
“A true African patriot is free,” he tweeted.
Gbagbo was captured in 2011 in a presidential palace bunker by UN and French-backed forces supporting his rival, Alassane Ouattara.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Tuesday acquitted the Ivory Coast ex-President and ordered for his immediate release.
