Hello, love the blog!

Do you or your followers know what kinds of clothing a middle-aged woman from Ivory Coast might wear, both traditional and modern? Thanks in advance for any help!

Modern: regular clothes, same as you and I 😅

As for traditional, I asked my friend, and outside of agreeing with me about modern, she also added this. From an Ivorienne herself:

"The pagne is used to make a lot of different clothing. It's pretty colorful and versatile but it's technically still traditional. So it wouldn't be unusual to see someone dressed like the woman in these pictures everyday. The man would most likely be dressed like that for an event or something though"

"And there's kente/kita clothing which was more originally used for traditional ceremonies or events buts its not unusual to have it be worn as everyday fashion now"

"Or the boubou that can also be both pretty traditional and very casual."

"Don't know prices nowadays, obviously, but it was fairly common for people around me to just go buy fabric at the market they liked and have it tailored. Obviously not your entire wardrobe or anything but having a few pieces tailored wouldn't break the bank"

A new military strategy of French neocolonialism in Africa: Reorganizing under the cover of retreat

By Pavan Kulkarni

In his New Year’s address, Alassane Ouattara, president of Ivory Coast since 2010—when he took power with the aid of French military intervention—announced, “We have decided on the coordinated and organized withdrawal of French forces” from the country.

However, his address didn’t mention terminating the 1961 military agreements with France. These “agreements are at the root of the problem. As long as these agreements exist, France will be able to use them to carry out military maneuvers or intervene at the request of its servants in power in Ivory Coast,” general secretary of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Ivory Coast (PCRCI), Achy Ekissi, told Peoples Dispatch.
