Laurent Gbagbo pleads not guilty to crimes against humanity
- 8 years ago
In this edition, we focus on the trial of former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo at the International Criminal Court.
For the first time, a former head of state appears before a world court. Former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo is in the dock in The Hague at the start of his long-awaited war crimes trial.
Despite the allegations of atrocities, Gbagbo continues to inspire the fierce loyalty of those who think he's been made a scapegoat by Ivory Coast’s former colonial ruler, France. We meet some of his supporters gripped by the opening of the case.
And in Algeria, we meet a teacher trying to keep the musical instrument Imzad alive.
