The Jewel of West Africa - Côte d'Ivoire's Nature and Diversity

Côte d'Ivoire, known as the Ivory Coast, is a West African country famous for being a top global exporter of cocoa. It has a diverse geography including coastlines, dense rainforests, and northern savannas. The nation's history includes powerful pre-colonial kingdoms, French colonization, and post-independence prosperity followed by political turmoil. Today, it is recovering economically and socially. The Ivory Coast is ethnically and linguistically diverse, with over 60 ethnic groups and numerous indigenous languages, alongside French as the official language. The economy, while still facing challenges, is driven by agriculture, particularly cocoa production. Ivorian culture is rich in music, literature, visual arts, and cuisine, with dishes like Garba, Peanut Butter Stew, and Kedjenou reflecting its culinary diversity.
