A Citizen Calls for the Abolition of Plateau Commune in an Open Letter to Minister Vagondo Diomandé

Oupoh Laurent has written an open letter to Interior and Security Minister Vagondo Diomandé, reviving the debate over abolishing Plateau Commune. He proposes making the territory a special area under the Autonomous District of Abidjan and transferring the commune’s powers to the District. The letter recalls that a debate launched in April 2024 by Dabley Jean Cyriac sparked controversy before fading without any known public response. It cites the contrast between Plateau’s roughly 7,186 residents across 394 hectares and the nearly two million people who travel there each day.
