On Monday, Laurent Gbagbo, former president of Côte d'Ivoire, was arrested at his home by Ivorian forces following a four-month standoff that left hundreds of people dead, and generated hundreds of thousands of refugees and internally displaced persons.As French helicopters hovered over his residence, pro-Ouattara forces carried a 'quick and professional' arrest, according to Ivory Coast UN Ambassador Youssoufou Bamba. Gbagbo signaled his surrender with a white handkerchief, and as he left the building, he was seen on television declaring 'the fighting is over'. According to the UN, Laurent Gbagbo is now being held by Ouattara forces, and Mr. Bamba described him as alive and healthy, and will be brought to justice for crimes he committed. For his own safety, his location was undisclosed, however, later in the day, we learned that Gbagbo, his wife, and several advisers had been brought to the Golf Hotel which has been used by Ouattara as his party's headquarters since the election results.
