Ivory Coast News — Latest from Abidjan and Beyond

Ivory Coast is often the first story you’ll hear about when West Africa makes headlines — from cocoa exports and port traffic in Abidjan to politics in Yamoussoukro. On this tag page you’ll find fast updates and clear context so you can understand what matters now and why it matters to the region.

What we cover

We track five things closely: national politics and elections, the economy and trade (especially cocoa and cashews), security and local unrest, major legal cases, and sports — yes, the Elephants and big domestic fixtures get regular coverage. Expect short breaking posts, longer explainers, and on-the-ground reporting that names places and people so you’re not left guessing.

When a minister reshuffles, a major port has delays, or a court ruling changes policy, we flag the facts first and then follow up with context. For business readers we explain how trade flows through Abidjan’s port affect supply chains. For sports fans we highlight national team moves, local leagues, and standout players linked to Ivory Coast.
