The trial of Ivory Coast’s ex-First Lady, Simone Gbagbo who is facing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, resumed this afternoon after a postponement of several weeks, the AFP news agency reports.
Simone Gbagbo’s lawyers had asked the postponement to allow her to rest.
The proceedings at her trial had previously been suspended at least twice.
She was expected to be handed over to the International Criminal Court to be tried alongside her husband Laurent Gbagbo, but the Ivorian authorities later curbed their collaboration with The Hague after frustrations over the way her trial was being handled.
