Former Ivory Coast first lady
Simone Gbagbo began testifying on Tuesday in her trial for genocide,
embezzlement and other charges, a judicial source said.
The case is part of an
investigation into crimes committed during the 2010-2011 crisis sparked by her
husband Laurent Gbagbo's refusal to hand over power to current President
Alassane Ouattara after losing a November 2010 presidential election.
The former first lady, who has
been in custody in the northern town of Odienne since April 2011, is expected
to give two days of testimony there, the source said.
The Ivory Coast crisis claimed
about 3000 lives. The Gbagbos were seized in April from a bunker in the
presidential palace in Abidjan with support from French and UN troops.
Laurent Gbagbo is currently
awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges of
crimes against humanity.
In all, eight Gbagbo allies have
been charged with genocide, and dozens of people who served under the former
regime are in jail.
