Gbagbo Must Go for Africa’s Sake – Annan

Former United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan, says that if Ivorian President, Laurent Gbagbo, stays in power in despite losing a presidential election, it will be a setback for the whole of Africa.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Annan, who mediated in many African conflicts, said the result of the December election appeared clear and almost everyone accepted the UN-certified outcome that former Prime Minister, Alessane Ouattara had won.

"Except for Gbagbo and his group, everyone accepts the results as they came out," he explained.
