Abstract of Briefing

Title:	Côte d'Ivoire after Houphouet-Boigny
Author:	John Rapley
Location:	Vol.22 No.63 (March 1995), pp119-121

Côte d'Ivoire seems to have sunken into something of a gloom in recent years. In small ways, things have actually improved in Abidjan. The electricity supply is now regular, the phones always work, and the problem of banditry, which had reached alarming proportions a few years back, seems to have been stamped out. There are still roadblocks at which policemen conduct routine checks of documents, but they are no longer surrounded by heavily-armed soldiers as they were in 1990.
