Authors
Clélie Nallet
April 23, 2018

Depuis 2011 et la fin de la crise post-électorale, la Côte d’Ivoire renoue avec une croissance économique spectaculaire. Le pays et sa capitale attirent l’attention d’un nombre croissant d’investisseurs, et les « classes moyennes abidjanaises » sont largement publicisées et convoitées. Parallèlement, les lieux de consommation abidjanais se sont particulièrement diversifiés et transformés. Abidjan offre de nombreuses options pour les consommateurs, qui évoluent dans un contexte compétitif de large choix, en termes de lieux, de produits et de services. Les nouveaux centres commerciaux sont, dans le sens commun, associés aux classes moyennes. Mais quelles réalités et évolutions sociales reflètent-ils réellement ?

Sure, they were the enemy, because they were killing their brothers and sisters and destroying their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh, a forgotten enclave loyal to Armenia but surrounded by Azerbaijan. In September 2020, when the fighting erupted again, it did not take long to find out who had sent these foreigners to kill or expel them from their land, named by its inhabitan ...

    For science fiction writers, the universe has no limits. They imagine spacecraft conquering the unknown, the mining of asteroids, access to solar power and room for colonization by earthlings tempted by new frontiers billions of miles and dreams away.
