    According to wiki:

    Simone Gbagbo is a controversial figure in Côte d’Ivoire. Involved in nationalist politics surrounding the Ivorian Civil War, in 2005 Radio France International reported that she was being investigated by the United Nations for human rights abuses, including organising death squads.

    Sounds like a nice person
