Ivory Coast mixes Paris style with neocolonial tensions
Ivory Coast, a 450000 city, blends Parisian shops and lagoon boulevards with a heavy French presence. The Houphouet-Boigny government expelled the Soviet mission after a 42 hour deadline, amid broader foreign ties seen as neocolonial by critics. Ivory Coast exports reached 400 million dollars, boasting a coffee and cocoa lead, with 20 million in French investment and a 110 million trade surplus.
