ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — An elders group led by the former U.N. chief said Monday that Ivory Coast’s arrested strongman has accepted his loss in a presidential poll, months after his refusal to cede power plunged the country into chaos and bloodshed.
Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the group’s leader, said the elders met with former strongman Laurent Gbagbo, who said he accepted the victory of President Alassane Ouattara.
Gbagbo is being held in the country’s north after being arrested April 11.
