In an unprecedented show of defiance, millions have taken to the streets of Abidjan in the largest public mobilisation in Ivory Coast’s modern history. COUP ERUPTS in Ivory Coast is not merely a domestic political crisis — it’s a flashpoint in a growing wave of change across West Africa. The exclusion of two key opposition figures, Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam, has ignited anger at President Ouattara’s push for a fourth term, raising urgent questions about democracy, sovereignty, and foreign influence.
In this in-depth report, The Rising Africa examines the roots of the Ivory Coast Coup 2025, unpacking the political manoeuvres, the economic frustrations, and the historical context driving the unrest. Through the lens of African News, we explore why this moment matters far beyond Ivory Coast — and how it could inspire or caution movements from Dakar to Kinshasa.
This is more than breaking news. COUP ERUPTS in Ivory Coast is a reminder of what’s at stake when constitutional rules are rewritten, when economic growth masks inequality, and when the will of the people is sidelined. For millions in West Africa, it’s about reclaiming the right to choose their own leaders, free from entrenched elites and foreign pressure.
