It is all systems go for the inauguration of\u00a0Ivory Coast’s\u00a0new president Alassane Ouattara<\/a> after a bitter power struggle with his rival Laurent Gbagbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Up to 100,000 people are expected in the nation’s capital, Yamoussoukro, along with French president Nicholas Sarkozy, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon and more than 20 other heads of state for the ceremony – six months after November’s election.<\/p>\n

The political stalemate sparked a wave of massacres<\/a>, enforced disappearances and sexual violence, however, since Gbagbo’s arrest in April, Ouattara has promised to reconcile the deeply divided country.<\/p>\n

He has created\u00a0a South African-style truth and reconciliation commission to kick start the healing process and explore\u00a0the deeper backgrounds behind the political and ethnic violence.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s inauguration, says Human Rights Watch, an international rights watchdog group, is a good time to send a clear signal that “the crisis of impunity that has fuelled human rights violations in Cote d’Ivoire has ended”.<\/p>\n

The ingredients for a successful transition into peace are justice, truth and reconciliation. But these efforts should be genuine and credible,\u00a0the rights watchdog\u00a0said in their letter to Ouattara<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, as Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from Abidjan, some believe the steps are still not enough to\u00a0heal a fractured nation still reeling from the horrors of recent months.<\/p>\n
