For Côte d’Ivoire, 2014 was a year of mixed hope and anxiety. The post-war reconciliation process produced modest and limited results. The year was also marked by the trial of prominent members of the former regime, including the former first lady, Simone Gbagbo. However, nobody from President Alassane Ouattara’s side was indicted by the national judicial system or the icc. The country was torn by disputes about the upcoming 2015 presidential elections. The two main political parties, the ‘Parti Démocratique de Côte d’Ivoire – Rassemblement Démocratique Africain’ (pdci-rda) and ‘Front Populaire Ivoirien’ (fpi) were deeply divided about the election and its procedures.
