AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Election Rights Under Pressure: Ahead of Côte d’Ivoire’s Oct. 25 presidential vote, civil society and rights groups are warning that free expression is being squeezed after opposition candidates were excluded from the ballot; protests in Abidjan over disqualifications were dispersed by security forces, with more than 230 arrests reported, and ARTICLE 19 urged authorities to protect civic space. Gender-Based Violence Push: The government launched a national commitment to curb male chauvinist violence, citing a sharp rise in cases over the past decade and backing a zero-tolerance approach involving traditional, religious, youth, media and civil society actors. Urban Demolitions Fallout: In Abidjan, residents of the Campement (Koumassi Camp) neighbourhood say bulldozers razed homes on June 3 under a disputed order, leaving families homeless and accusing authorities of using a fake court document. Digital & Connectivity: Côte d’Ivoire says it will launch 5G in July and begin a Starlink trial operation, aiming to expand coverage across cities and localities. BRVM Investor Pitch: The Abidjan-based BRVM chief executive urged international investors to “come to Africa,” highlighting fast-growing economies and the exchange’s role across WAEMU. Cocoa Supply Watch: A new inventory picture suggests Côte d’Ivoire has far more unsold cocoa than previously estimated, adding downward pressure to global prices.
