 Former Ivory Coast President Laren Babo plans to return home on June 17. This comes after he was acquitted on charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court. The ICC confirmed in March that Babo and Charles Blair-Godd were in the clare over the post-electral violence that rocked the West African nation in 2010 and 2011. He had spent years behind bars in the Dutch city and waited in Brussels for the decision of a 2019 appeal. Alison Watara stated at a Cabinet meeting that Babo's travel expenses would be covered by the government and that steps will be made to guarantee that Babo obtains the pecs and allowances afforded to past presidents.
