Côte d'Ivoire - The ivory coast

'You will never find a place more unique than the Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast has the most children in the whole world.'

 It is 322,463 square kilometers. In Africa, the Ivory Coast is located on the western part of its coast. 

The 2010–11 Ivorian crisis was a political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire which began after Laurent Gbagbo, the President of Côte d'Ivoire, was proclaimed the winner of the Ivorian election in 2010 this was the first election in the country in 10 years. His rival, Alassane Ouattara, and a number of countries, organisations and leaders  claimed Ouattara had won the election. After months of attempted negotiation and violence, the crisis entered a decisive stage as Ouattara's forces began a military offensive in which they quickly gained control of most of the country and besieged key targets in Abidjan, the country's largest city. International organizations have reported numerous human rights violations, and the UN undertook its own military action with the stated objective to protect itself and civilians.
