She has spent seven years behind bars for her role in a wave of political violence that claimed several thousand lives in 2010-11. The amnesty of around 800 persons is done in the name of national reconciliation. (Photo by ISSOUF SANOGO / AFP) (Photo credit should read ISSOUF SANOGO/AFP/Getty Images)
