In the Ivorian Press, Alassane Ouattara Between Legacy and Succession

Ivorian newspaper front pages on November 3, 2026, focus on Alassane Ouattara’s succession, with Le Sursaut asking who might seek the presidency and Le Bélier noting that there are contenders but no official successor. Several papers criticize the government: Générations Nouvelles accuses the RHDP of trying to silence the opposition, while Touré Valy calls on the president to engage in dialogue. Other headlines address the four deaths in Nahio, youth employment, what Me Habiba Touré describes as the failure of education policy, and the country’s public debt.
