| Côte d'Ivoire in
International French; officially the République de Côte d'Ivoire),
or, translated into English, the Ivory Coast, is a country in West Africa.
It borders Liberia and Guinea to the west, Mali and Burkina Faso to the
north, Ghana to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south. |
| The country's early history
is virtually unknown, although a Neolithic culture is thought to have existed.
In the 19th century it was invaded by two Akan groups. In 1843-1844, a
treaty made it a protectorate of France and in 1893 Côte d'Ivoire
became a French colony. The country became independent in 1960. Until 1993
it was led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny and was closely associated
economically and politically with its West African neighbors, for example
forming the Council of the Entente. At the same time the country maintained
close ties to the West, which helped its economic development and political
stability. Since the end of Houphoët-Boigny's rule, this stability
has been destroyed by two coups (1999 and 2001) and a civil war since 2002,
which has hampered its economic development. Côte d'Ivoire
is a republic with a strong executive power personified in the President.
Its de jure capital is Yamoussoukro and the official language is French.
The country is divided into 19 regions and 58 departments. Côte d'Ivoire's
economy is largely market-based and relies heavily on agriculture, with
smallholder cash crop production being dominant. For a developing country,
it has an excellent infrastructure. |
