After weeks of uncertainty about his whereabouts, an alleged audio recording of Charles Blé Goudé [fr], the former Ivorian Minister of Youth under ousted president Laurent Gbagbo, has appeared in the Facebook group, “RESEAU MONDIAL FACEBOOKERS POUR GBAGBO” (Worldwide Network of Facebookers for Gbagbo). In the recording, posted by Cyrius Oscar Chic Choc, Blé Goudé says: “I've experienced the symbolism of my own funeral in my lifetime, which my grandfather often told me about,” and affirms, “I am alive.”
