Listen to our podcast on Africa and Climate Change
Robin Attfield talks about how Africa finds itself vulnerable to drought but also the flooding of its coastline, among other untoward environmental effects of climate change and civil war.
2013 was probably the most peaceful year since the beginning of the civil war in 2002. Alassane Ouattara, the winner of the 2010 presidential election, continued to lead successfully the long process of economic recovery. He received international praise for his management of reforms and continued support from his international backers. Compared with 2012, security improved, with a decrease in armed attacks by fighters backing the camp of defeated president Laurent Gbagbo, but the slow pace of reconciliation and the difficulties of prosecuting war criminals and those suspected of economic crimes, particularly those siding with Ouattara’s camp, led to concern about the long-term prospects for stability.
