Former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed political figures of his generation.
Popular political figure-author Laurent Gbagbo has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Gbagbo, a cultural icon
Born in Mama on May 31, 1945, Laurent Gbagbo's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Ivorian history. Gbagbo's not just a great political figure, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Laurent hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Laurent Gbagbo as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.
Happy Birthday, Laurent, you're the best!
