The Town

In the border town of Niablé, smuggling is omnipresent. The operation of this activity is based on the one hand, on social cultural relationship between neigh boring populations, and on the other hand on monetary disparities between Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Without denying the truth fullness of such an activity, smugglers, organized in a highly hierarchical system operate according to a strict behavioral code where one’s given word and mutual confidence are the sole modus operandi. It permits them to bring goods of diverse natures (oil products, food, pharmaceuticals, second-hand clothes drinks, etc.) in Niablé. Thus, this activity seems to be a real opportunity for these smugglers, longing for the improvement of their welfare. Besides, the smuggling allows its actors to contribute to the town’s blossoming. Such a perception of smuggling gives an idea of the animation going on in this border town. In a word, though we want it or not smuggling participates in the socio-spatial change of the town even if sometimes, it stands as an obstacle to its development. Through this contribution, we are willing to show the operation of smuggling and its influence on the town of Niablé.

AbstractIntroductionCôte d’Ivoire is facing a second wave of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While social distancing measures (SDM) may be an option to address this wave, SDM may be devastating, especially if they have a minimal impact on the spread of COVID-19, given the other measures in place.MethodsWe conducted a cohort study involving cases that had occurred as at June 30, 2020. We used data from the Government’s situation reports. We established three study periods, which correspond to the implementation and easing of SDM, including a 10-day delay for test results: (1) the SDM (March 11 - May 24), (2) the no SDM (May 25 - June 21), and (3) the pseudo SDM (June 22 - July 10) periods. We compared the incidence rate during these periods using Poisson regression, with sex, age, and the average daily number of tests as covariates.ResultsAs at July 10, there were 12,052 cases. The incidence rate was 100% higher during period 2 compared to period 1 (incidence rate ratio = 2.05, 95% confidence interval: 1.75-2.41) and 25% lower during period 3 compared to period 2 (0.75 [0.66-0.86]).ConclusionsThe easing and subsequent reinforcement of SDM had a significant impact on the spread of COVID-19 in Côte d’Ivoire. The other mitigation measures either did not compensate for the easing of the SDM during the no SDM period or were not fully effective throughout the study periods; they should be strengthened before the SDM are reimplemented.

ABSTRACTIn the mid-1990s, Côte d'Ivoire witnessed the rise of the ideology of ivoirité, a conception of citizenship based on autochthonous origins. Ivoirité was elaborated by a group of Ivorian intellectuals in the context of the political struggle opposing Henry Konan Bedié to Alassane Ouattara in the succession to the late President Houphouët-Boigny. Through the tactical use of the rhetoric of ivoirité, Ouattara was depicted by his adversaries as a ‘Burkinabé’ trying to rule the country. Going beyond this tactical aspect, the article addresses the ideological relations linking ivoirité to the ‘project of an Ivorian liberal society’ explicitly constructed by the same intellectuals. These relations contributed to the emergence, in the Ivorian public space, of a discourse establishing self-evident, hegemonic connections between notions like autochthony, modernity and nationality, on the one hand, and biopolitical concepts like population, immigration, security and resources on the other. The article uses two complementary perspectives to frame this emergent discourse. One focuses on the historical continuity of the political-economic strategies and population policies implemented by colonial governments and post-colonial elites. The other uses Giorgio Agamben's critical enquiry into citizenship and nationality to bring to light the implication of the ivoirité intellectuals in the construction of a national bios, and thus in the singling out of a paradigmatic form of bare life.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the external environment of the Ivorian banking sector to identify relevant factors that may affect it somehow. To do so, we use the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological and Legal (PESTL) basic framework as inspiration to implement our analytical process. We conduct our analysis by looking at factual elements and secondary data collected from trustworthy institutions. On the one hand, it appears that Côte d’Ivoire is a well-positioned country with numerous endowments, important investments opportunities, and a relatively open market. Banks can take advantage of the country’s development trend by managing and channeling the inflow of money. On the other hand, socio-political unrests, regional issues, and corruption are threats. Moreover, the strategic role of this country seems to be a significant factor to consider in relation to competition, political actions, and bank regulation.

This study focuses on mapping and identification of pollution factors in the Kan dam basin in Bouaké (Côte d'Ivoire); All through the use of GIS and field investigations. The consequences of socio-economic development on the Kan dam are important. Indeed, the watershed of the dam appears to be the outlet for all the waters (used and rain) of the town of Bouaké. The mapping of land use in the dam basin allows the identification of nuisance and pollution sources. Mainly five (05) types of nuisance and pollution activities were identified: urbanization (habitat zones); Agriculture (agricultural areas); Fishing (fishing zone); Poultry farming (poultry farming); Cattle breeding (pasture area).

The Government

Non-separatist insurgents unable to overthrow a sitting government often face a problem successful rebellions can avoid: They are not the only players who can claim to be acting on behalf of the nation. They will have to imagine the nation in a new way that distinguishes them from the older, established nationalism usually promoted by the existing government. This new nationalism aims to legitimise their actions, but first and foremost it has to be attractive to the population in the region under insurgent control and later to others as well. Each camp, the government and the insurgent side, articulates its understanding of the nation to the other side. In the process, both sides often also adopt different forms of imagination to render the specifics of their nationalism more visible to their followers as well as to partisans in the other camp. This article analyses this political articulation by taking Côte d'Ivoire as an example.

On the African continent, the use of Internet and social media has been growing at an incredible speed in the past decade. Social media have thus been used in an array of instances such as election periods, natural disasters, and political crises. However, previous research on social media has barely taken a look at the use of social media during war. By investigating on the use of Twitter during the post electoral crisis in Côte d’Ivoire in 2010/2011, this study wants to emphasize the potential of social media for the development of democracy in the context of crisis, war, and limited media freedom. Through a content analysis of Twitter and qualitative expert interviews with Ivoirian bloggers, this study found that Twitter was mainly used for political debate and crowdsourcing information. The crisis turning over to a civil war, the network was used in particular by a small group of active citizens and bloggers, operating as technically versed opinion leaders, to provide humanitarian help for the population caught in the crisis. Results further showed that mobile devices played a crucial role for the use of Twitter within the country and indicated that the post electoral crisis considerably contributed to the discovery of Twitter in Côte d’Ivoire. A central finding is that Twitter, on the one hand, was used for diffusing false information and expressing verbal violence and, on the other hand, it served to verify information and throwback rumors.

AbstractThe status of the different cytological variants of Simuliumsanctipaulisensu stricto Vajime & Dunbar (sensu b8Post, 1986) found in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire is cytotaxonomically evaluated in view of recent revisions of the S. sanctipauli subcomplex. Three geographical variants designated as ‘Pra’, ‘Comoé’ and ‘Sassandra’forms of S. sanctipauli are described. The ‘Pra’ form is genetically differentiated from the other two forms by a distinct sex-determining system. The ‘Comoé’ and ‘Sassandra’ forms are considered as the two ends of an interspecific stepped cline with the River Bandama basin as the zone of contact. The possibility that the ‘Comoé’ form populations breeding in southwestern Ghana could serve as reinvading S. sanctipauliinto the Onchocerciasis Control Programme (OCP) area in West Africa is discussed.
