After Aboisso, why Simone Gbagbo visited Dominique Ouattara

On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, former First Lady Simone Ehivet Gbagbo was received in audience by current First Lady Dominique Ouattara at her office. This courtesy visit follows the celebration of Mother's Day 2026 in Aboisso on May 30, where Dominique Ouattara organized a party in honor of women. Simone Gbagbo, as a daughter of the Sud-Comoé region, wanted to thank Dominique Ouattara for the donations and the celebration. Observers see this as a sign of political détente and rapprochement among Ivorian female figures.
