Listing in Cote D Ivoire The Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, commonly
known in English as Ivory Coast, is a country in West Africa. It
has an area of 124,504 square miles, and borders the countries
of Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana; its southern
boundary is along the Gulf of Guinea. The country's population
20,600,000. Prior to its colonization by Europeans, Cote
d'Ivoire was home to several states, including Gyaaman, the Kong
Empire, and Baoule. There were two Anyi kingdoms, Indenie and
Sanwi, which attempted to retain their separate identity through
the French colonial period and after Cote d'Ivoire's
independence. An 1843-1844 treaty made Cote d'Ivoire a
"protectorate" of France and in 1893, it became a French colony
as part of the European scramble for Africa. Cote d'Ivoire
became independent on 7 August 1960.
