Abstract

Located in the western part of Africa, notably surrounded by Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Ghana, côte d'ivoire constitutes an isolated case in the African History of the twentieth century. Indeed, considered as a model of African success from its decolonisation in 1960 until the beginning of the 1980s - period more commonly known as the miracle ivoirien or Ivorian miracle- Ivory Coast has however sunk into a devastating civil war in 1999. Besides, Ivory Coast became after Djibouti the second former African French colony to have been affected by this kind of fratricide conflict. Since then, Ivory Coast seems to have been unable to find an exit door to its crisis. More worrying again, its economy as well as its political lives are still currently entrenched. Nevertheless, many international actors concerned by the Ivorian crisis have, since 1999, invested côte d'ivoire. In 2004, the UN created the onuci (Opération des Nations Unies pour la côte d'ivoire)- a special UN operation for côte d'ivoire in order to help this country to recover from its ongoing crisis.
