What Does the Future Hold for Côte d’Ivoire One Year After President Ouattara Took Power?
More than a year after the end of the civil war that cost the lives of around 3,000 people, the situation in Côte d’Ivoire remains tense. Its economic development suggests that the country is heading in the right direction. However, unless it can fully restore security and begin a process of reconciliation throughout the country, this goal is still a long way off. In the first year of Alassane Ouattara’s presidency, great strides have been made in rebuilding economy and infrastructure. But people are still worried about the security situation and the rising cost of living.
