Côte d'Ivoire independence

Côte d'Ivoire gained independence from France on August 7, 1960, after years of colonization during which the country’s resources and people were managed by the French. This transition was driven by a desire for self-governance, national identity, and economic control. The peaceful movement led to the establishment of a new government, allowing Côte d'Ivoire to make its own decisions. Since then, it has developed its economy and political institutions, though it has faced challenges such as political disagreements and conflicts. Independence marked the country's journey toward sovereignty and the right to shape its future.
