Ivory Coast: Nady Bamba questions the social benefits of economic growth

Nady Bamba, wife of Laurent Gbagbo, published an opinion piece criticizing the gap between the economic growth touted by the Ivorian government and the daily struggles of households. She cites official slogans like 'Ivory Coast is booming' and contrasts them with the reality of people fighting to survive. She uses the example of Tour F in Plateau, a symbol of modernity amidst poverty, to illustrate 'the two faces of Ivory Coast'.
