Côte d’Ivoire: After Chad, a new impetus for sovereignty with the announcement of the departure of French forces
After Chad, which recently announced the departure of French forces from its territory, it is now Côte d’Ivoire’s turn to follow this sovereignty-driven momentum. In his end-of-year speech, President Alassane Ouattara officially confirmed the withdrawal of French troops stationed in Côte d’Ivoire this January, marking a historic turning point for the country and the region. This decision reflects the growing desire of African nations to fully regain control of their internal affairs.
Ivorians, like many Africans, applaud this courageous initiative, which resonates with their deep aspirations for self-determination. They see this move as a decisive step towards an Africa free from external influences that have long burdened its governance and development. President Alassane Ouattara is receiving congratulations for having listened to and addressed the expectations of his people.
This new momentum, initiated by several countries on the continent, reflects a collective awakening in favor of genuine sovereignty. This growing movement mirrors an increasing awareness of the issues surrounding political, economic, and strategic independence, paving the way for a more united and determined Africa to chart its own destiny.
