Special envoy to Dabou and Débrimou

The central place of Débrimou resembles that of all the villages of western Côte d'Ivoire.

A vast esplanade of beaten earth bordered by small shops, a bar and, in the background, the silhouette of concrete and metal sheets muted by the humidity of a covered market.

"The problems stayed there"

, he said, pointing to the track which, through the rubber trees, leads to Dabou, a quarter of an hour's walk away.
