OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) – Burkina Faso has
issued an international arrest warrant for Guillaume Soro, the speaker
of parliament in Ivory Coast, on charges related to a failed coup last
year, military sources said on Friday.
The warrant risks raising tension between the West African neighbors.
Soro and the rebellion he led played a crucial roll in
Ivory Coast’s 2011 civil war, backing President Alassane Ouattara’s
claim to leadership after his predecessor Laurent Gbagbo refused to recognize his election defeat.
