Anyama is suburbs located at 50 km of the District D? Abidjan. It has a population estimated at nearly 150.000 inhabitants. C? is “the city of the cola” in which the autochtones Akié cohabit with the Dioula aliens.
What still connects to me at this city is summarized with my birth certificate. J? do y go each end of L? year. Some time for missions in political matter.

? Speak to us a little your personal course, of your experiment, of what motivate you and what T? inspires in the life in a general way? , of your various implications in international organizations.

J? made my childhood near my honest mother before joining my father in another commune. With L? did age eight years, I leave my private primary school for L? public school. That m? disturbed much in my studies so that N? were not able to have good results each school year.

In 1989, J? obtain my patent D? study to return to the college Aime Césaire. After do the VAT, I decide D? to integrate a vocational school in telecommunication in 1994 bus new technologies got a very great desire to me for discovering the world.
After my studies with L? African Higher institute of the Stations and Telecommunication D? Does Abidjan, search D of them? the first employment, I decide to make of the policy. C? is like J? adhere to the Gathering Republicans (RDR). A party with liberal ideology.

In 1998, J? integrate the national office of young Republicans (RJR) of the party of Dr. Alassane Dramane Ouattara like charged national of the sport and the culture. A few months after J? reach the station of charged national to the foreign relations. My first job was permanent executive committee.

C? is from there that J? could booster rocket my competences, to learn and divide with the other young people of the sphere. And what J? could visit L? South Africa, L? Australia, Belgium, the Benign one, Burkina Faso, L? Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Sweden, Togo or Zambia.

My motivation to continue to learn how to take part in the social change and to help my next S? D is accentuated gradually? where my inspiration.

C? is after my participation as only delegate of my country in 1st International Youth Partnership with the account of my organization of political youth which I decide of m? to imply on the international level. C? is with approval which I become the National Leader of Youth Employment System (YES) of my country. And always being member of the office of the young liberals, to continue to coordinate the activities of L? Organization of Liberal African Youths (OJLA) and L? International organization of Liberal and Radical youths (IFLRY). Also like founder member, I became one of the facilitateurs of the African Parliament of the Young people and consulting with youth to share my acquired competences.



? Which is L? event marking of your course which T? brought to become aware of the key part which you would have to play in the files relating to youth and the fight against racism and discriminations?

This N? 1st Oxfam International Youth Partnership is any doubt. J? had the heavy responsibility to only represent my country. Yes, J? had learned much. How I could change the behaviors, to break the cycle of poverty, to take part in the social change in short? to change the world.
And then they are the brimades met near the militants and sympathizers of my party, which m? forged this mentality to fight against L? arbitrary, xenophobia and discrimination. Because biologically we all are equal in front of God.


? You are in particular very sensitive to the questions relating to L? employment of the young people in particular within the YES (Youth employment Summit) Dimension D? Ivory of which you are the national leader. Does we explain the reasons which T? pushed towards this way?

You know, in the current context of universalization, L? is one of the economic and social problems most pressing L? use of the young people and the conflicts. These problems are of a particular importance in Africa where 60% of the population of many countries have less than 20 years. In the countries of L? Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of young N? not having D? decent employment exceeds the 50%.
The governments of our States and the international community, of the givers affirmed their will to fight together against this frightening problem. L? United Nations for the industrial development and L? African union began to support an effort concerted at the national and international level to answer this problem effectively. But our controlling N? advisedly do not use the funds granted by the rich countries to solve this thorn-bush problem.

To be an actor to denounce these facts and to contribute to the durable development of my country m? obliges with m? to imply D? favour because we have a rich continent. And to have a better life in the near future m? challenge because this durable development is also on our continent.


? Founder member of the African Parliament of Youth, Facilitateur de Oxfam International Youth Partnership, National Consultant with youth and Radio operator organizer? , D? where come you does all this energy?

Of my thirst to make change the world.

? Can one speak about vocation or passion concerning your various engagements and your direction of the leadership?

I will say that C? is more one vocation qu? a passion. Because J? will have been able to immigrate in Australia, in Belgium or Sweden but I returned in my country to take part in his construction and to continue to make of the policy.
J? always affirmed and supported that: “Our History, our independence and our development S? prove for us, youth of this country, this continent and this world an awakening. One should not in no case to conceal oneself vis-a-vis the News Gives which is universalization. J? in am convinced that you and me, are Rising generation which will make change the behaviors and mentalities”.


? Could you speak to us about the method SWOT of which you T? inspire and by its practical application in Africa and elsewhere?

C? is a method which m? was taught in Dakar at the time D? a seminar. And that m? made include/understand the management of time at the time of L? development D? a project, D? an event to be organized or actions to be carried out within the political framework during the general elections in my country. That is translated into French language by FFOM: Forces? Weakness - Opportunity? Threaten.
Also on did the level of our African organization of liberal youths, it allow us D? to widen the network of the members of the aforesaid the organization over two years.


? Among the countries which you did traverse within the framework of your activities, which are those or that where you would like to turn over and why?

With Senegal, bus J? have much D? friends with the country of the “Teranga” bus J? took part in a seminar in 2000 and lived my political exile in 2003 there. My liberal friends of the youth of the PDS of President Abdoulaye Wade in occurrence with at their head Ministers of L? environment Modou Diagne Fada and of youth Alioune Sow (my tutor) have all be formidable in my connection. I cannot forget this part of my tumultuous life.
In Sweden to have taken share with sat congress of the young Swedish liberals at the same year. J? obtained an unexplainable Swedish solidarity by a cordial reception and their directions of division.
They are the consequences to make of the policy.

? You make aujourd? today are part of the generation of the young leaders, which your dreams for current youth? What could you say or advise with the young people of the generations to come?

What could I say or advise with the young people of the generations to come, C? is D? access to respect his/her parents and their duty obedience. To make suitable studies according to its vocation. During will your school course, to postulate at the post of chief of class, that enable you to remove certain complexes bus J? have for my part be a very good chief of class in 4th and 3rd. In the same way to seek to integrate an organization of youth or moreover to create some to forge its leadership. To take share with the associative and voluntary activities. And if you feel courageous, then made of the policy to take share with the decisions of your country.
And especially never forget to believe in you. To take the life on the good side.
