lady, Simone Gbagbo, has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for her
role in the violence that followed the 2010 elections.

She and her husband were arrested in 2011 after troops stormed a bunker where the pair had taken refuge in the main city, Abidjan.
When you are on top be careful how you treat people below because when you are falling or fall they will help you up
