schema:articleBody	Former Ivorian rebel leader and ex-prime minister Guillaume Soro, who has been barred from contesting an upcoming presidential election, should be allowed to run, the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights said Tuesday. The court -- established by members of the African Union in 2004 -- issued a provisional ruling calling on Ivory Coast to "take all necessary measures to immediately remove all obstacles" preventing Soro from competing in the October 31 vote. However, the ruling is likely to have limited impact, as Ivory Coast withdrew its recognition of the court's jurisdiction in April this year. On Monday, the Constitutional Council, Ivory Coast's top court, rejected 40 of 44 applications to contest the election, which is taking place against a backdrop of extreme tension. Those rejected include Soro, 47, and former president Laurent Gbagbo, both of whom played key roles in the crisis that engulfed the country after disputed elections in 2010. The court however accepted an application by President Alassane Ouattara, 78, who is seeking a third term despite criticism that this outflanks constitutional limits. Soro provided military help that enabled Ouattara to come to power after a civil war that erupted when Gbagbo refused to accept defeat in the 2010 election. More than 3,000 people died in the fighting. After the crisis, Soro became prime minister, then speaker of the National Assembly, but fell out with Ouattara in early 2019. His election application was rejected by the Constitutional Council on the grounds that he had been given a 20-year sentence, handed down in absentia in April, for alleged embezzlement of public funds. pgf/ri/gd
