A Billion Dollar Bandage: Ivory Coast's AFCON 2023 and the Scars of Civil War

By Joseph Noah

In the heart of a nation still healing from the wounds of civil war, a billion-dollar gamble is made: hosting the prestigious AFCON 2023 football tournament. Ivory Coast, draped in the glitz of international attention, hopes the tournament will be a salve to its divided society. But can a month of football truly mend the scars of conflict, or will the AFCON merely serve as a glittering bandage, hiding the deeper issues that threaten to tear the nation apart once more?
