Guillaume Soro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillaume Kigbafori Soro (born 8 May 1972) is a Ivorian rebel and political figure.
A Catholic from the north of the country, Soro led the rebel Patriotic Movement of Côte d'Ivoire (MPCI) in a September 2002 rebellion against the government of President Laurent Gbagbo that triggered the Ivorian Civil War. In December 2002, Soro's MPCI combined with two other rebel groups - Ivorian Popular Movement of the Great West (MPIGO) and Movement for Justice and Peace (MJP) - to form the Forces Nouvelles (New Forces). He became Secretary-general of the group.
On 28 December 2005, Soro was appointed minister of reconstruction and reintegration in the government of Prime Minister Charles Konan Banny.
