Events

Youth education at University

At the beginning of this year, we initiated a monthly
education opened to all the Campus students, at the
Economic and Management Sciences Unit of Cocody
University-Abidjan.

On February 26th, Mamadou KOULIBALY educated 250
students in liberalism, struggling against all preconceived
ideas on liberal politics in Africa. On March 19th, the
Chairman was that time to deal with the topic of
economic liberty, before 283 students. This education
project has been stopped by the complications of the
post electoral conflict. University will not reopen till
October 2012. This is more sorrowful considering that our
evaluations gave a percentage of 81% students
convinced with liberalism meanwhile the University
teaching in Côte d’Ivoire strongly calls for Keynesianism.

Post electoral conflict

From the end of March to mid-June 2011, the
Institute was to stop all activities due to
episodes of violence and the bombing of
Abidjan by the French militaries forces and the
Operation of United Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
Unrest resulted in the impossibility of doing the
slightest activity, as it had become very difficult
to think. In fact, intellectuals and mainly
students were targeted. In such a context, the
Institute suffered a robbery of computing
equipments, phones and money.


Proposal of end crisis
At the very first moment of end crisis, we call for our
liberal friends throughout the world to share their vision
and lead proposals of end crisis for the country.
Distinguished liberals among whom: JP Feldman, a
Parisian barrister, Emmanuel Martin Director of Un Monde
Libre publication, Pierre Garello Director of the Institute of
Economics Studies, JF Minardi Associate Director of
Economic Liberty and Development at Fraser Institute
Canada, Aurélien Véron Chairman of the Liberal and
Democrat Party of France, Jean Yves Naudet Director of
the Center for Research in Economic Ethic in France. Their
proposals were broadly promoted in the national press. Annual Report Audace Institut Afrique 2011

restart the intellectual life by gathering 103 journalists
