Episode Description
English translation: In Côte d'Ivoire, the trial against Guillaume Soro, the former President of the National Assembly and 19 of his relatives will end on Wednesday afternoon. The Abidjan Court of First Instance will deliver its verdict on the case. As a reminder, Soro, already sentenced to 20 years in prison by the Ivorian justice in another case of embezzlement of public funds and money laundering, is this time prosecuted for undermining the security of the state and attempted subversion. The Public Prosecutor requested life imprisonment against Soro and heavy sentences for several of his relatives, including his former Director of Protocol Souleymane Kamaraté. For the Soro camp, this is neither more nor less than a political trial tending to alienate their leader from the Ivorian political scene. In short, the court decision expected this afternoon is a real test for Ivorian justice whose independence is being severely tested "
