It has been 10 years since Côte d’Ivoire, with the help of the United Nations, commenced a process of building peace after a nine-year war. The process involves a disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration exercise as well as a transitional justice programme. Although the country has not returned to war, elections in 2018 and 2020 were marred by violence and many Ivorians say more needs to be done to unite the country. Jessica Moody unpacks why many are dissatisfied with both types of post-conflict programme.
