Former President Is Dead

A former President is dead.

 

Glamtush reports that former Ivory Coast President, Henri Konan Bedie is dead.

Badie, who dominated politics in the West African nation for a generation, died at the age of 89, a close relative told Reuters on Tuesday.

Bedie served as president from 1993 until his ouster in 1999.

He later ran a losing race against his long-time political rival, President Alassane Ouattara in 2020, when he was 86 years old.

NAN reports that it is not clear how Bedie died.

He was long remembered – and in some parts reviled – for his role in promoting the issue of “ivoirite”, or Ivorian identity.
