The trial of Simone Gbagbo, the former first lady of Cote d'Ivoire, on charges of crimes against humanity, opened Tuesday in Abidjan. Mrs. Gbagbo has already been handed a 20-year jail sentence for "attacking state authority" over her role in post-election violence in 2010 that left more than 3,000 people dead. Local residents have different views about whether this trial is in the interests of national reconciliation.
