Ouattara plans another reshuffle as Ivorian papers call justice a “distributor of charges”

The possible ministerial reshuffle announced by Alassane Ouattara dominates Ivorian newspaper front pages on October 21, 2026. Papers question the scale and motives of the change and whether a new generation will enter government. Dernière Heure asks whether this is a genuine reshuffle or merely a change of team, while Générations Nouvelles calls for a “real clean-up.” On the justice system, Le Quotidien d’Abidjan denounces what it sees as a government push to force its way through, and Notre Voie criticizes the issuing of charges in political cases.
