Abstract:

: For more than a decade, Côte d'Ivoire has become the hub of illicit drugs in Africa. This is shown by the huge quantities (several tons/year) that have been seized by the authorities. Also, young users of these psychoactive substances do no longer hide themselves. However, few studies have been carried out on the epidemiology of drug addiction and on the complications linked to the use of these illicit drugs in Côte d'Ivoire. In this context, we planned to perform an epidemiological analysis of drug use in this country. To this end, a survey conducted using a questionnaire submitted to patients in two detoxification centers in the city of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). It was found from this study that the most illicit drugs commonly used in this country were respectively, cannabis, heroin, cocaine and crack. The preference for cannabis is due to its affordabîlity (relatively low cost). Also, learners (pupils and students) are the biggest consumers of drugs.

Abstract:

This study was conducted in order to ascertain the state of affairs of the pharmacovigilance in Côte d'Ivoire, and to estimate the level of knowledge of the workers involved in the veterinary drug sector in the District of Abidjan. The methodological approach applied was first an exploratory survey on the existing regulatory texts and the activities relating to the veterinary pharmacovigilance in Côte d'Ivoire. Then, secondly, a cross-sectional descriptive survey was used to estimate the level of knowledge of the workers/actors in the sector of veterinary pharmacovigilance. The results of our investigations showed the non-existence of a veterinary pharmacovigilance system in Côte d'Ivoire because of the legal vacuum existing at the national level on this subject. This legal void is slightly addressed by a less explicit West African French speaking country organization (UEMOA) pharmaceutical regulation in terms of veterinary pharmacovigilance. The definition of veterinary pharmacovigilance and its current legal basis in Côte d’Ivoire is the Regulation No. 02/2006/CM/UEMOA, and the current law organizing the veterinary pharmacy, are unknown to the majority of the actors questioned. Almost all (97%) of the questioned actors felt the need to be informed and trained on pharmacovigilance.

Abstract:

Background and Aim: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious challenge to animal and human health worldwide. Therefore, this study aims to determine levels and patterns of AMR of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. strains isolated from poultry farms in Côte d'Ivoire. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts of Côte d'Ivoire with high poultry production: Abidjan and Agnibilékrou. A total of 231 fecal samples were collected in 124 poultry farms in both districts. Enterobacteria were isolated and tested for susceptibility to 14 antimicrobial agents using the disk-diffusion method. Results: A total of 212 E. coli and 36 Salmonella strains were isolated. In Abidjan, 139 collected samples generated 101 E. coli and 23 Salmonella strains, whereas in Agnibilékrou, 92 collected samples generated 111 E. coli and 13 Salmonella strains. Variable resistance levels were recorded for the antibiotics tested. The resistance prevalence of E. coli and Salmonella, respectively, was high: Doxycycline (98%/94%), sulfonamide (84%/86%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (80%/41%), and streptomycin (71%/52%). Average resistance rates were recorded for flumequine (38%/66%), ampicillin (49%/33%), amoxicillin (25%/44%), colistin (26%/2%), chloramphenicol (21%/2%), and gentamicin (4%/47%). The antibiotics least affected by resistance were cefuroxime (4%/5%), ceftriaxone (2%/0.00%), and nitrofurantoin (1%/0.00%). Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that resistance to important antibiotics is emerging in poultry production in Côte d'Ivoire. Policies promoting the rational use of antibiotics should be implemented to manage antibiotic resistance in animal production.

Abstract:

This study analyses the factors that explain the dysfunction in the management of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Côte d'Ivoire. The study was essentially qualitative, using appropriate survey tools such as documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with a category of actors in Abidjan. This enabled us to arrive at the following results: the dysfunctional management of COVID-19 in Côte d'Ivoire is linked to the failure to comply with the normative framework issued by the authorities of the Ministry of Health through the persistence of lifestyle habits that are proof of the restrictive measures announced in view of the seriousness of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Thus, the actors develop strategies outside the normative framework to redefine new types of lifestyle relationships.

Abstract:

The Ivorian state has been involved in the construction of public schools given their importance for development. Since the 1980s, there has been a reduction in funding linked to the economic crisis and structural adjustment programmes. Thus, by a convention the State will concede the public service of education to the private sector. The results of this research on the conditions of access to private schools in the Abidjan district were analysed through a cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims. This has led to disparities in costs between municipalities. 40,000 FCFA for minima and 1, 922,000 FCFA for maxima, a multiplication order of 48. In secondary school, the minimum is 43,000 FCFA and the maximum is 2, 706,000 FCFA, a multiplication order of 63. In higher education there are less disparities. In total, there are many differences in the costs of schooling from one school to another. While the public-private partnership has encouraged more children to attend school, it has also created a challenge to access because of the expensive costs of attending school.

Abstract:

Background: Fruit ripening is a natural process that can also be stimulated by various artificial means. In recent years, artificial ripening has become increasingly popular in developing countries. This practice has become questionable due to various health problems associated with the use of its chemicals. Aims: The aim of this study was therefore to list the products and techniques used for the artificial ripening of mangoes in Côte d'Ivoire. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 5 communes of Abidjan on the ripening and marketing of mangoes for local markets in Côte d'Ivoire. Study Design: Descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with a single questionnaire passage. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Food Science and Technology, Laboratory of Nutrition and Food Safety, Nangui Abrogoua University, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Methodology: This study was carried out to evaluate the different mango trade in Abidjan. The investigation period extended over two months, from April 1 to May 31, 2022, and involved 225 traders, or 45 per municipality. The markets were selected based on the main mango unloading points, with the aim of having two wholesale markets for each municipality. The selection of traders was based on the size of their activity. Results: The study showed that a large number of mango traders used ripening products. The products used in all markets were calcium carbide "caba" and ethephon "cabadji", of which caba was used by the majority (80%) of traders. For caba, 95% of traders used the incubation technique, while for cabadji, 100% of traders used the sprinkling technique. These practices are carried out with less protection and disinfection. Most of these applicators felt some kind of effect (headache, prolonged cold, dizziness, etc.) after using these products. Consumption of mangoes sold on the national market depends essentially on knowledge of these ripening practices. Conclusion: The aim of this study was to list the products and techniques used for the ripening in Côte d'Ivoire. The study revealed a variety of products used for mango ripening, the main being calcium carbide (caba) and almephon (cabadji). Caba is used for incubation and Cabadji for spraying.

Résumé Desgrées du Loû Annabel, Msellati P., Viho I., Welffens-Ekra C.-Le recours à l'avor- tement provoqué à Abidjan : une cause de la baisse de la fécondité ? En Côte d'Ivoire, la fécondité a baissé rapidement au cours des quinze dernières années : le nombre moyen d'enfants par femme est passé de 7,2 en 1980 à 5,7 en 1994, et ceci malgré une prévalence contraceptive encore très faible. Parmi les différents moyens d'espacement des naissances possibles, il en est un qui reste très mal connu dans ce pays, car illégal et souvent clandestin : le recours à l'avortement provoqué. Cette étude présente les niveaux de recours à l'avortement et leur évolution, à partir des vies génésiques de 1201 femmes enceintes dans la ville d'Abidjan. Il semble qu'il y ait actuellement en Côte d'Ivoire un recours à l'avortement provoqué fréquent (un tiers des femmes ont avorté au moins une fois), et que ce phénomène se soit récemment amplifié. La généralisation du recours à l'avortement se serait faite au cours des dix dernières années ; elle a touché toutes les classes d'âge, mais plus particulièrement les plus jeunes qui commencent à utiliser l'avortement dès le début de leur vie féconde, au contraire de leurs aînées qui l'utilisaient plutôt comme un moyen d'espacement et de limitation des naissances après les premières grossesses. Cette augmentation rapide du recours à l'avortement explique en partie la baisse de fécondité de la Côte d'Ivoire.

Abstract:This article examines the effects of the post-2002 sociopolitical crisis in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, on urban and peri-urban agriculture. Based on the case study of Abidjan, it argues for a conceptualization of sustainability that includes social as well as environmental dimensions and focuses on coping strategies of producers and merchants. In Abidjan, these strategies included internal migration within the city and its periphery, the use of organic fertilizers, and changes in market structure. The study illustrates how such strategies allowed producers to continue to supply produce to the market, despite the difficulties of war.

Abstract:

AbstractSince 2008, several outbreaks of yellow fever and dengue occurred in Abidjan, the economic capital of Côte d'Ivoire. A better knowledge of the biology ofAedes aegyptipopulations, the main vector of yellow fever and dengue viruses, is necessary to tailor vector control strategies implemented in the city. This study was designed to determine some biological parameters, occurring during the life cycle of two morphological phenotypes ofAe. aegyptilarvae. Mosquitoes were sampled in a suburb of Abidjan (Treichville) using the WHO layer-traps technique. Biological parameters were studied in laboratory under standard conditions of temperature (27°C ± 2°C) and relative humidity (80% ± 10%). Our results indicated that the mean eggs laid by females from ‘brown larvae’ (BL) (85.95, 95% confidence interval (CI 95%) 78.87–93.02) was higher than those from ‘white larvae’ (WL) (64.40%, CI 95% 55.27–73.54). The gonotrophic cycle was 3 and 4 days in females from BL and WL, respectively. The overall yield of breeding mosquitoes from BL (63.88%, CI 95% 62.61–65.14) was higher compared with those of mosquitoes from WL (59.73%, CI 95% 58.35–61.12). The sex ratio (male/female) was 0.95 and 1.68 inAe. aegyptipopulations from BL and WL, respectively. Females from BL lived slightly longer than those from WL (t= −2.332;P= 0.021). This study shows thatAe. Aegyptipopulations from BL and WL present different biological parameters during their life cycle. This could have an implication on their ability to transmit human disease viruses such as dengue and yellow fever. Further molecular studies are needed to determine genetic divergence between theseAe. aegyptipopulations.

Abstract:

Background A beriberi outbreak occurred in the Maison d'Arrêt et de Correction d'Abidjan (MACA), a detention center in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, between October 2002 and April 2003. Objective A retrospective investigation was conducted to document the outbreak in April 2003. Methods A descriptive analysis and a case–control study were performed. A probable case patient was defined as a person detained in the center between October 2002 and April 2003 with at least two of the following symptoms: bilateral leg edema, dyspnea, positive squat test, motor deficiencies, and paresthesia. A definite case patient was defined as a probable case patient who showed clinical improvement under thiamin treatment. Results Of 712 cases reported, 115 (16%) were probable and 597 (84%) were definite. The overall attack rate was 14.1%, and the case fatality rate was 1.0% (7/712). The highest attack rate was reported in the building housing prisoners with long-term sentences (16.9%). All patients were male, and the mean age was 28 years. During the period studied, the penal ration provided a fifth of the quantity of thiamin recommended by international standards. After adjustment for potential confounders, a history of cholera infection (adjusted odds ratio [ORa], 12.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.9 to 54.1) and incarceration in the building for severe penalties (ORa, 4.8; 95% CI, 1.3 to 18.5) were associated with the disease. Conclusions Beriberi has been underreported among prisoners. Further attention should be given to its risk factors, especially a history of acute diarrhea. Systematic food supplementation with vitamins and micronutrients should be discussed when the penal ration does not provide the necessary nutrient intake recommended according to international standards.

Abstract:

AbstractThis is an ethnography of internet scams in Abidjan through which I attempt to develop a theory of digital sorcery. The brouteurs of Côte d'Ivoire impersonate Europeans in social media profiles and seduce others into falling in love with them. After months of flirtatious messaging and photo exchanges, disaster strikes their avatar and they ask for an emergency wire transfer from their digital lover. While millions of euros of income are sent to Abidjan every year, the brouteurs say they can no longer succeed without the use of occult forces, and they turn to marabouts for assistance. During my fieldwork in 2015, rumours circulated that brouteur wealth depended on the blood sacrifice of children for its success. As Ivoirians increasingly employ smartphones and social media in their daily life, the anxieties concerning the illusions and manipulations of the virtual world become enmeshed with those of the occult second world. I suggest that the overlap between hacker technology, con artistry and occult power outlined in Ivoirian urban rumour suggests a model for rethinking the space of virtuality in the global economy as a form of magical semiosis, one that can be every bit as vitality draining as witchcraft itself.

Abstract:

The tchapalo, traditional Ivorian beer, formerly produced in northern Côte d'Ivoire, has overflowed the geographical limits of its production. Its consumption is becoming more momentum in Abidjan. For a better knowledge of actors and a valorization of this beverage, this work was conducted through a survey of 385 brewers and 77 tchapalo consumers selected in 3 areas of Abidjan. Results showed that tchapalo is produced exclusively by Burkinabe women (45.5%) and the Ivorian women came from northern part of Côte d'Ivoire (53.2%), mainly women of the Lobi ethnic group (90.2%). Tchapalo production was a significant source of income for these women. The biggest consumers of tchapalo came from the Akan ethnic group which represented 52.5% of respondents. Because of its financial accessibility (300 CFA francs per liter), tchapalo is consumed by all socio-economic and professional groups, particularly foremen (41%) and laborers (31.7%). Consumers who found therapeutic principles to the tchapalo represented 54.3% of respondents. Furthermore, over 95% of respondents preferred to consume into tchapalo production area to meet friends and also to maintain fraternity links with brewers. However, 25.7% of consumers chose to consume in a specific tchapalo production area for the taste of the beverage and 25.5% due to welcome that their reserves the producer. Favorite consumption moments were afternoons and evenings.

Abstract:

Les Violences Basées sur le Genre (VBG) constituent une préoccupation majeure pour divers organismes en Côte d’ivoire. Elles ont essentiellement été abordées dans un but opérationnel en vue d’obtenir des changements rapides dans la société ivoirienne en ce qui concerne la condition féminine. Au niveau académique et particulièrement dans le monde du travail cependant, ces violences ont cependant reçu très peu d’attention. L’article tente, à partir d’une revue de littérature et d’une enquête de terrain réalisée à Abidjan et à Bouaké, de mettre au jour l’existence de Violences Basées sur le Genre dans le monde du travail. Les données nécessaires à l’analyse ont été collectées en auprès de 14 personnes, dont des responsables de Services Gouvernementaux, d’Organisation Non Gouvernemental, de syndicats, des travailleurs du secteur formel et informel. L’article arrive à la conclusion que les Violences Basées sur le Genre existent dans le monde du travail en Côte d’Ivoire et qu’elles constituent une reproduction des inégalités de genre dans le monde du travail.  Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a major concern for various organizations in Côte d'Ivoire. This topic is mainly mentioned for an operational purpose to obtain rapid changes in Ivorian society regarding the condition of women. At the academic level and particularly in the world of work, however, such violence has received very little attention. The article attempts, from a literature review and a field survey carried out in Abidjan and Bouaké, to bring to light the existence of Gender-Based Violence in the world of work. The data necessary for the analysis were quoted from 14 people, including officials of Government Services, Non-Governmental Organizations, trade unions, workers in the formal and informal sector. The article concludes that the Gender-Based Violence existing in the world of work in Côte d'Ivoire and that it constitutes a reproduction of gender inequalities in the world of work.

Abstract:

The objective of this work is to evaluate the socio-demographic and cultural status, and the nutritional behavior of pregnant women received in medical consultation at the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of the University Hospital Center of Cocody-Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). A survey was conducted on a cohort of 504 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in the period from August 26, 2015 to February 23, 2017. The survey method consisted of collecting information on socio-demographic, cultural and nutritional status, pregnant women, from a survey card. The results showed that these women, whose age varies between 15 and 44 years, are predominantly Ivorian, with 49.23 % of them belonging to the Akan ethnic group. Burkinabe women represent more than half of non-Ivorian women. The Christian women represent 68.25 %, against 29.76 % of Muslim women. Of those surveyed, 82.14 % are single, 82.54 % are literate, compared to 17.86 % married and 17.46 % illiterate. Living conditions have revealed that 3-room apartment buildings are the most inhabited, and many of them enjoy the amenities of a modern home. At the nutritional level, 1.19 % of respondents followed a diet recommended by a doctor and 31.35 % have dietary prohibitions. 0.99 % of this study population regularly consume alcohol. Food groups such as breads, cereals, starchy foods and pulses are the most consumed (68.06 %); meat is more consumed than fish. Fresh fruits and vegetables are less present in the dietary habits of these respondents. From this study, it could be concluded that the respondents have a satisfactory sociodemographic situation. However, civil marriage is not a proof of marital stability. The percentage of divorced could give an indication of this stability, although in Côte d'Ivoire, customary marriage is the most recognized by the community. Finally, in Côte d'Ivoire, eating habits are often known. But it is a good and balanced diet that the population often ignores.

Abstract:

Abstract. Several field campaigns were conducted in the framework of the Dynamics-Aerosol-Chemistry-Cloud Interactions in West Africa (DACCIWA) project to measure a broad range of atmospheric constituents. Here we present the analysis of an unprecedented and comprehensive dataset integrating up to 56 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from ambient sites and emission sources. VOCs were collected on multi-sorbent tubes in the coastal city of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, in winter and summer 2016 and later analysed by gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization and mass spectrometer detectors (GC-FID and GC-MS) at the laboratory. The comparison between VOC emission source profiles and ambient profiles suggests the substantial impact of two-stroke motorized two-wheel vehicles and domestic fires on the composition of Abidjan's atmosphere. However, despite high VOC concentrations near-source, moderate ambient levels were observed (by factors of 10 to 4000 lower), similar to the concentrations observed in northern mid-latitude urban areas. Besides photochemistry, the reported high wind speeds seem to be an essential factor that regulates air pollution levels in Abidjan. Emission ratios (ΔVOC∕ΔCO) were established based on real-world measurements achieved for a selected number of representative combustion sources. Maximum measured molar mass emissions were observed from two-wheel vehicles, surpassing other regional sources by 2 orders of magnitude. Local practices like waste burning also make a significant contribution to VOC emissions, higher than those from light-duty vehicles by 1.5 to 8 orders of magnitude. These sources also largely govern the VOC's atmospheric impacts in terms of OH reactivity, secondary organic aerosol formation (SOAP), and photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). While the contribution of aromatics dominates the atmospheric impact, our measurements reveal the systematic presence of anthropogenic terpenoids in all residential combustion sectors. Finally, emission factors were used to retrieve and quantify VOC emissions from the main anthropogenic source sectors at the national level. Our detailed estimation of VOC emissions suggests that the road transport sector is the dominant source in Côte d'Ivoire, emitting around 1200 Gg yr−1 of gas-phase VOCs. These new estimates are 100 and 160 times larger than global inventory estimations from MACCity or EDGAR (v4.3.2), respectively. Additionally, the residential sector is largely underestimated in the global emission inventories, by factors of 13 to 43. Considering only Côte d'Ivoire, these new estimates for VOCs are 3 to 6 times higher than the whole of Europe. Given the significant underestimation of VOC emissions from the transport and residential sectors in Côte d'Ivoire, there is an urgent need to build more realistic and region-specific emission inventories for the entire West African region. This might be true not only for VOCs, but also for all atmospheric pollutants. The lack of waste burning, wood fuel burning and charcoal burning, and fabrication representation in regional inventories also needs to be addressed, particularly in low-income areas where these types of activities are ubiquitous sources of VOC emissions.

Abstract:

A pandemic that appeared in Wuhan in China considered in the early stages of the spread as the disease of others goes, by its virulent spread, to modify the mores of different human communities. Now, all of humanity is struggling for its survival as the most vulnerable continent surprises international opinion for its resilience while defeating the predictions of disasters. It is in this dispute that in Côte d'Ivoire, the taking in of this pandemic will experience two states. A clinical posture of curative and preventive regulation strongly represented in Abidjan while the localities of the interior escape the strictness of the provisions. As surprising as it may seem, COVID-19, which has become more visible among the Ivorian elite, will be weakly contracted and taken seriously by all communities. Although it is variously perceived by cultural areas, it still emerges a socially anchored resilience which nevertheless seems to be right in the spread of the pandemic. In a socio-anthropological approach, we will strive to elucidate the socio-community imaginaries that are the basis of the perception and community habits of COVID-19 in Côte d'Ivoire

Abstract:

The quality of education is based on the content of the lessons which depends on the interest of educators in their profession through their availability for work and learners. In Côte d'Ivoire, this availability is not always effective, since many educational staff in public secondary schools carry out lucrative activities in parallel with their professional activities. This article "public sector educators and parallel lucrative activities in Côte d'Ivoire", which aims to explain how these activities influence the quality of education, is based on a survey based on qualitative methods And in quantitative terms in ten (10) secondary public schools in Abidjan. The survey involved interviewing 274 educators with teachers, management, management and union leaders through accidental sampling for the quantitative method and saturation sampling for the qualitative method. Interviews were conducted using semi-structured interview guides, while questionnaires were administered on the basis of standardized questionnaires on quantitative techniques. The results of the survey show that the lucrative activities of educational staff influence their attendance and contribute to the non-completion of school programs. These activities, which are also a source of exhaustion, undermine the efficiency of the educational staff of public secondary schools. The fatigue resulting from these activities does not always favor a better performance of the educational staff in the school while they negatively influence the integration of the values in the learners. In this way, the lucrative activities of educational staff contribute to the poor quality of education in Côte d'Ivoire. They should therefore be reorganized in order to achieve a quality education system as sought by the Ivorian educational community.

Abstract:

The present study was conducted among 100 poultry farmers through a formal survey from July to December 2021 in the autonomous district of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). With no information on quail farming organization, the objective was to understand the social and technical characteristics. It appears that the municipality of Bingerville has a significantly higher difference than the other municipalities (p < 0.05), unlike Marcory, which has the lowest rate of farms. Quail farming consists of 8% nationals and 92% non-nationals, with 89.8% men and 10.2% women, of which those in the age group of 30 to 45 years account for 65.31% (p < 0.01). The age groups of 45 years and above, and 20 to 30 years represent 18.37% and 10.20%, respectively. Among the 98% educated quail farmers, 48.98% have a higher education level, 38.78% have a secondary level, and 10.20% have a primary level. As for quail farming experience, 71.43% have less than 3 years, 14.29% have between 3 and 6 years, and over 6 years. Furthermore, the farms are of mono-specific type (14.29%) and plurispecific type (85.71%) with cage housing (72.45%) and floor housing (27.55%). The quails, originating from hatcheries (8.16%) or purchased (91.84%), are managed in single flocks (85.71%) or multiple flocks (14.29%) for the purpose of reproduction (97.96%) or meat production (14.29%). Quail farming is practiced by all populations with diversified techniques in the district.

Abstract. Every year, rains cause material damage and human losses, in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire). The objective of this study is to contribute to the characterization of the rain hazard in the District of Abidjan. The available data are made up of daily rainfall from a historical station “Abidjan airport” (1961–2014) and an academic network of rain gauges (21) progressively implemented in Abidjan since 2015. A descriptive analysis (date of occurrence, rainfall depth, mean wet days intensity and number of rainy days) on the Highest Cumulative Rainfall Periods (HCRP: 60 d) is conducted on the long-term station. The periods of highest risk of flooding during the long and short rainy seasons are characterized. The Experimental variograms of extreme rainfalls derived from the current network, allow to evaluate their extensions according to the rainy season.

Abstract:

Since independence, Côte d'Ivoire has been confronted with various socio-political crises. During the first crises that shook the country, the national question appeared as the search for a solution to the imbalances in the relationship between the populations living in Côte d'Ivoire. The actors in these crises were politicians and most social strata. Moreover, in recent crises, specifically the post-electoral crisis of 2010-2011, other social actors than the military were involved. Indeed, children have been recruited and enlisted into the ranks of combatants of all forces involved, despite existing laws and international law (ACAT, 2005). Gangs of children aged between 8 and 18, known by various names including 'microbes' and 'children in conflict with the law', are rife in the District of Abidjan, especially in the communes of Abobo and Anyama. Acts of violence (murders, robberies and other crimes) with knives are perpetrated on the population. As Kouamé Yao (2017) points out, the violence they perpetrate seems to be a rewriting, in an otherwise fragile context, of that perpetrated by the ziguéhis and nouchis, urban youths in search of social visibility and recognition in the 'conjunctural' Côte d'Ivoire of the post-1970s. It has been observed that during pre-electoral and post-electoral crises, these young people, known as microbes, are solicited in order to create disorder among political opponents. Despite all the measures and strategies put in place by the Ivorian state to eradicate the phenomenon, it persists and is growing. This qualitative study required the use of various sources and data collection techniques and attempts to answer the following question: Why does the phenomenon of children in conflict with the law persist? The objective of our paper is to analyse the reasons for the persistence of this phenomenon in the Ivorian capital.
