These African leaders were forced out of office in the most heinous way

Laurent Gbagbo

Like Yahya Jammeh, Laurent Gbagbo decided against relinquishing power after he lost the 2010 election to Alassane Ouattara. This selfish decision plunged the nation into civil war and loss of lives.

Alongside French forces and powerful rebel forces, Gbagbo was arrested in 2011 along with his wife and other top aides.
