Yesterday, Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced it had issued a warrant for the arrest of Charles Ble Goude.
Goude, 40, headed the youth wing of Gbagbo's political movement and is charged with four counts of crimes against humanity, including murder and rape, committed in Ivory Coast between December 2010 and April 2011.
Bruno Kone, spokesperson of the Ivorian government said, "We duly note today's announcement and when the time comes we will give the suitable response".
Nick Kaufman, Goude's attorney also reacted to the warrant saying, "He is a man of peace and denies all the allegations against him concerning post-election violence. He wants to help with the reconciliation of his country"
The African Union has began questioning the fairness of the ICC as all recent cases seem to involve mostly Africans. (REUTERS)
