Ivory Coast, also known as Côte d'Ivoire, officially the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, is a country on the southern coast of West Africa. Its political capital is Yamoussoukro, in the centre of the country; while its largest city and economic centre is the port city of Abidjan. It borders Guinea to the northwest, Liberia to the west, Mali to the northwest, Burkina Faso to the northeast, Ghana to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean) to the south. Its official language is French, but local indigenous languages are also widely used, including Bété, Baoulé, Dioula, Dan, Anyin, and Cebaara Senufo. In total, there are around 78 different languages spoken in Ivory Coast. The country has large populations of the adherents of Christianity, Islam and various indigenous religions.
Before its colonization by Europeans, Ivory Coast was home to several states, including Gyaaman, the Kong Empire and Baoulé. The area became a protectorate of France in 1843 and was consolidated as a French colony in 1893 amid the European scramble for Africa. It achieved independence in 1960, led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who ruled the country until 1993. Relatively stable by regional standards, Ivory Coast established close political economic ties with its West African neighbours while maintaining close relations with the West, especially France. Its stability was diminished by a coup d'état in 1999, then two civil wars—first between 2002 and 2007 and again during 2010–2011. It adopted a new constitution in 2000.
Ivory Coast is a republic with strong executive power vested in its president. Through the production of coffee and cocoa, it was an economic powerhouse in West Africa during the 1960s and 1970s, then experienced an economic crisis in the 1980s, contributing to a period of political and social turmoil. It was not until around 2014 that its gross domestic product again reached the level of its peak in the 1970s. In 2020, Ivory Coast was the world's largest exporter of cocoa beans and had high levels of income for its region. In the 21st century, the Ivorian economy has been largely market-based; it still relies heavily on agriculture, with smallholder cash-crop production predominating mapa de Costa de Marfil Africa , Cote d Ivorie Ivory Coast is a country of western sub-Saharan Africa. It borders Liberia and Guinea in the west, Mali and Burkina Faso in the north, Ghana in the east, and the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean) in the south. The country lies between latitudes 4° and 11°N, and longitudes 2° and 9°W. Around 64.8% of the land is agricultural land; arable land amounted to 9.1%, permanent pasture 41.5%, and permanent crops 14.2%. Water pollution is one of the biggest issues that the country is currently facing.
Administrative divisions

Districts of Ivory Coast
Since 2011, Ivory Coast has been administratively organised into 12 districts plus two district-level autonomous cities. The districts are divided into 31 regions; the regions are divided into 108 departments; and the departments are divided into 510 sub-prefectures. In some instances, multiple villages are organised into communes. The autonomous districts are not divided into regions, but they do contain departments, sub-prefectures, and communes.
Since 2011, governors for the 12 non-autonomous districts have not been appointed. As a result, these districts have not yet begun to function as governmental entities.

Ghana🇬🇭- Ivory Coast🇨🇮Boarder Town Sampa in the Jaman North District#ghana#accra #theseekerghana
Sampa is a town in the Bono Region of Ghana, on the border with Côte d'Ivoire. It is the capital of Jaman North District, and was formerly the site of a Slave market. It was also the capital of the Akan State of Gyaaman in the late 15th century. It is the biggest border town in Ghana with a population of over 36,000. It is the principal town of the Nafana ethnic group. They speak the Nafaanra language and equally speak Twi as a second language because Sampa is a cosmopolitan society. Nafaanra is also spoken in Banda District, parts of Tain District and Bondoukou District of Cote d'Ivoire.

Agriculture, commerce, industrialisation, and service are Sampa's main economic activities. Sampa was a slave market place in Africa during the Atlantic slave trade, and it is now a Cashew market center in Ghana. In Sampa, cashew buyers and purchasers from India and Vietnam have warehouses. Cashew nuts are transported to Sampa before being shipped to Tema for export by these enterprises' merchants in Bole, Wenchi, Dormaa, Techiman, Banda, and neighboring Cote d'Ivoire. Mondays are market days in Sampa once more. The Sampa Market is one of the largest in the Bono Region, with foreigners from Cote d'Ivoire and other parts of the country buying and selling goods. If you want the best aky3k3 to eat then that will be at Sampa.
Sampa is derived from two Nafaanra words; Se (Go) and Pa (Come), when the two words are combined as 'Sempa', it means, When you go come back. Sempa has now assumed the orthographic form 'Sampa'. Sampa, capital of the Jaman North Municipal was originally called Sikasoko. It means gold powder. This explains the abundant gold in the area in times past. In 1890s when the British and French colonialists established a boundary between their territories, Sampa which was known as Sikasoko was designated headquarters. Before Sunyani became the capita, Sampa had served as capital of the district, which comprised Jaman, Wenchi, Techiman, Berekum, Wam (Dormaa), Ahafo, Odumasi and Sunyani.

Belle Côte d’Ivoire, venez voir
l'histoire de la ville de Bondoukou : carrefour des civilisations
Bondoukou, CARREFOUR DES CIVILISATIONS, Ville de moins de 100 000 habitants, Bondoukou est le chef-lieu de la région du Gontougo, au nord-est de la Côte d’Ivoire. Située au carrefour de la Côte d’Ivoire, du Ghana et du Burkina Faso, Bondoukou est considérée comme l’une des plus vieilles villes de la Côte d’Ivoire
à la rencontre de plusieurs civilisations.
Origines
A l’origine, Bondoukou aurait été un simple campement de chasseurs Lorhon où seraient ensuite arrivés les Nafana, du groupe Sénoufo, et les Gins, aujourd’hui disparus et assimilés par les Koulango,
Selon les gin, à l’arrivée de leurs ancêtres dans cette zone autrefois peuplée d’animaux sauvages, leur chef aurait décidé de camper à cet endroit, en disant : «Gon tou go » qui signifie «le meilleur est à venir». A Bondoukou, on peut visiter ce qui aurait été la première case de la ville, bâtie par Taki Adreré, le fondateur Gin qui aurait prononcé le fameux « Gontougo ». Aujourd’hui, cette case, qui ne se visite que le 25 décembre à l’occasion de la fiago, cérémonie du « feu de brousse », figure parmi les sites touristiques les plus connus de la ville.
Enfin, au 17è siècle, deux grands groupes vont arriver : les Koulango et les Abrons.
Les Koulangos
La Sous-Préfecture de Laoudiba est le siège du Royaume Koulango de Bondoukou dont le souverain est Dagbolo Saye 1er. Récemment, Dagbolo Saye Ier a effectué un long séjour au Ghana où il a côtoyé et fraternisé pendant 4 ans avec ses collègues rois Ashanti. Contraint à l’exil en 2011 lors de la crise postélectorale, il a mis à profit ce séjour forcé chez les Ashanti pour faire de grandes découvertes sur les liens de filiation entre Koulango et Ashanti. L’épopée Koulango révèle que le vaillant peuple Ashanti est issu du peuple Koulango, précisément de l’ancienne cité historique de Saye (Bouna) ayant préfiguré la fondation du royaume de Bounkani. Allant plus loin, les Koulango situent leurs origines primaires au Congo. En effet, les femmes Koulango les plus conservatrices ont perpétué le culte de Kongo, une divinité païenne de la République Démocratique du Congo.
Arrivée des Abrons
Les Abrons de la région de Bondoukou sont originaires d’Akwamu, région du sud-est du Ghana, près du fleuve Volta. Au XVè siècle, un conflit de succession au trône les décide à émigrer vers l’ouest, à Koumassi, capitale des Ashanti. Leur alliance avec les Ashanti ne dure pas longtemps et, chassés par ces derniers, les Abron s’installent dans la région de Dôma (Wam) au Ghana. Toujours poursuivis par les Ashanti, ils demandent asile politique aux Nafana de Gontougou (Bondoukou) avec lesquels ils font serment d’amitié et de non belligérance. Leur arrivée à Bondoukou date de 1700. Les Abrons trahissent vite leur promesse et entreprennent une série de guerres de conquête, soumettant les Nafana de Bondoukou et les Koulango, ces derniers se réfugiant à Bouna. Les Abrons créent ainsi un royaume puissant, bien organisé et prospère. Dans ce pays, la succession au trône principal se fait dans le clan maternel (d’oncle à neveu ou de frère à frère utérin), tandis que celle au trône de province se fait dans le clan paternel (de frère à frère ou de père à fils).
Soumission des Abrons aux Ashantis
Mécontents de voir un puissant royaume se développer en-déçà de la rivière Tain, les Ashanti lancent une première expédition punitive contre les Abrons. Le roi Abron Abo-Mri est tué à Kong au combat. Lors de la seconde expédition, le roi ashanti Oséi Bonsu défait et met à mort, sur la rivière Tain près de Bondoukou, Kouadio Adingra Kuman, roi des Abrons Gyaman (les Abrons Gyaman sont ceux qui ont quitté le Ghana, par opposition aux Brong Ahafo sédentaires). Le siège en or d’Adingra Kuman est emporté au Ghana et devient « Sikadjua Koffi », nom du tabouret qui reste aujourd’hui le seul en or massif que les Akans détiennent. Sikadjua Koffi est toujours accompagné de trois cloches et de trois clochettes. Deux des cloches sont en laiton et une en or. Quant aux clochettes, toutes trois en or, elles représentent les trois guerriers de haut rang vaincus par les Ashantis. Le tabouret en or massif « Sikadjua Koffi » est considéré comme un objet sacré, un don divin, source d’inspiration pour les héros Ashantis. « Sikadjua Koffi » combine les deux grands attributs de la royauté Akan : le siège et l’or. Le siège sacré, principal objet du culte des ancêtres, est considéré comme un autel sur lequel on offre boissons, nourritures et sacrifices aux mânes des ancêtres et aux génies protecteurs et sur lequel on invoque l’esprit du fondateur du royaume. L’or, deuxième attribut sacré, représente le feu spirituel et la vitalité des ancêtres. La présence de l’or confère au patriarche respect, puissance et autorité, morale et spirituelle, sur l’ensemble des membres de la famille et des sujets du royaume. C’est également cet or qui donne qui donne crédit et valeur aux serments, aux prières et aux jugements rendus par le patriarche en nom et place des ancêtres.

INSIDE AFRICA: MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL 2019 in IVORY COAST
Our way of celebrating Taiwan's Mid-Autumn Festival 2019 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It is also known as Moon Festival. Since we are in Ivory Coast, we celebrated it quite different from the traditional, originally, it is celbrated through the following:
As with every Chinese festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food – moon cake. It is a kind of cookie with various fillings and different artistic patterns on the surface depicting the legends of the festival. Generally, it is round, as the Mid- Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion, and “round” has a similar pronunciation with “reunion” in Chinese. During the festival, people sacrifice these cookies to the moon as offerings, eat them for celebration and present them to relatives and friends for good wishes (Ref:
