According to Ivorian, French and United Nations sources, Laurent Gbagbo, the self-proclaimed president of Ivory Coast, was arrested Monday.
The U.N. released a statement saying Gbagbo was alive and in good health, and will be brought to justice.
Gbagbo’s refusal to accept his loss during the presidential election to Alassane Ouattara last year spiraled the West African nation into civil war.
He was arrested in order to put a stop to the violence and killings, reported the United Nations.
It was not immediately determined who captured Gbagbo.
Reports stated Gbagbo was seized by Ouattara’s loyal forces. Ouattara is recognized internationally as the rightful president of Ivory Coast. But reports from Gbagbo’s camp stated he was captured by French forces who stormed his residence.
Gbagbo was taken to the Golf Hotel, where both the U.N. and Ouattara are headquartered.
Forces loyal to both men – both claiming to be president – had clashed in Abidjan, the country’s main city overnight. U.N. troops did not get involved.
Gbagbo lost the presidential election in November, but refused to leave office. The two sides have been fighting for control of Abidjan for weeks.
On Sunday, the United Nations fired on Gbagbo forces after troops from his camp attacked the hotel where the United Nations and Ouattara are headquartered.
Along with the French military, they targeted key positions of Gbagbo’s fighters.
The violence between Gbagbo and Ouattara started after the presidential election last year, turning into a full-on war between the two camps in Abidjan.
The U.N. reported seeing more than 100 bodies in just over 24 hours in three Ivory Coast towns.

LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.

1. Definitions
"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in

collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this
License.
"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation,
musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any
other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a
Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
"Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that offers the Work under the terms of this License.
"Original Author" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work.
"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License.

License with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
violation.

sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable laws.

revocable (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works;
The above rights may be exercised on freely and openly accessible web media formats . The above rights include the right to make such
modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to make any alterations
or Derivative Works. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights set forth in
Sections 4(d) and 4(e).
4. Restrictions.The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

not require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon
notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by Section 4(c), as demanded.
You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward

manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of

exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by
the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written

time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be,
