Ivory Coast presidential candidate Soro hit with 20-year jail term

Guillaume Soro, the former rebel leader running for president in Ivory Coast, was convicted in absentia on Tuesday of embezzlement and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The former prime minister, who is in exile in France, has denied the charges, claiming they are politically motivated.
