Your dream is certainly an Africa were Africa should ONLY trade among 100% non-infested black Africans.

You would love to see the last white men leaving Africa...just say it bluntly and don´t use diplomatic tongue.

such hyperbole

Anyway, these are post-colonial names and those streets were built in the post-colonial era. They stand for a certain époque...and truly name change is the last thing IC has to bother now when the official unemployment rate runs at 40%, vast segments of the society are woefuly impoverished, generations of youth without a perspective....and you pick out six or seven boulevards which bear French names.

you even get names of African presidenst cities or countries in France.

There are several roads and streets in Nigeria who bear the name of British people...Nigerians give a toss for that...as if a name change could modernize a country.

Carver02, I do know that you hate white people to the core - knowing that you come from a country yourself USA where RACE (IDENTIFICATION) IS JUST EVERYTHING...and I wouldn´t be surprised to see you rejoice if mulattos were sent into gas chambers - due to theiR "white & and in your eyes evil and invested blood" like Hitler has done with the Jews.

Your dream is certainly an Africa were Africa should ONLY trade among 100% non-infested black Africans.

You would love to see the last white men leaving Africa....CAPE TOWN MUST BE AN EYE-SORE FOR YOU..just say it bluntly and don´t use diplomatic tongue.

I do not hate white people or mulattos.

You should realize what is going on.

I agree. However, the same argument goes for the Mexicans in the United States. However, a large chunk of the U.S. population wants to kick them out. So, what I am saying is Ivory Coast is dealing with a situation few countries do, and know how to deal with. I believe we should get rid of all borders, but most people would wince at this. While these same people call Ivory Coast Xenophobic, do you see the hypocrisy.

This city seems to be one of the most developed in the area. We in south america never imagine how Africa is.
I liked the city.

no longer is...it was the most developped in the sub-region.

bear in mind that IC was the third largest economy in Africa South of Sahara before those fuckers decided to destroy it....with their blood(y) concepts.

Yes, it looks better than Bangui, Bissau, Conakry, Freetwon, Monrovia etc.....but poverty has grown in leaps and bounds and Abidjan was not built to harbour close to 5 million people.

The city is a mere shadow of its former self...even the city´s inner circles look shabby and left to decay....many of the lifts in the high-rises ceased to function.

You cant be serious Mathias. A little instability and you think this magneficient city is dilapidated enough to be compared with the likes of Bangui and Bissau. Come on; show this pictures to a European, American or Asian to guess where they were taken and believe me none will guess anywhere in Africa. Mathias you are from Nigeria and to be honest, I feel Abidjan still beats all Nigerian cities in terms of infrustructure.
