Abidjan,\u00a0C\u00f4te d’Ivoire –<\/em> \u00ab\u00a0Je ne connais pas Giscard d\u2019Estaing. Je ne sais pas qui il \u00e9tait!\u00a0\u00bb: Franck Herv\u00e9 Mansou, un habitant d’Abidjan de 31 ans, est ravi que la capitale \u00e9conomique ivoirienne d\u00e9baptise le boulevard du nom de l’ancien pr\u00e9sident fran\u00e7ais et d’autres axes routiers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plusieurs pays ouest-africains ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de renommer une partie de leur espace public, d\u00e9non\u00e7ant une pr\u00e9sence encore trop visible de l’ancienne puissance coloniale fran\u00e7aise, comme le S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, ou de mani\u00e8re plus radicale comme les r\u00e9gimes militaires du Niger, du Burkina Faso et du Mali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, l’un des derniers alli\u00e9s de Paris dans la r\u00e9gion, n’a pas souhait\u00e9 s’inscrire dans cette d\u00e9marche, affirme \u00e0 l’AFP le responsable du projet au minist\u00e8re de la Construction, Alphonse N’Guessan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le pays a simplement \u00ab\u00a0d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de moderniser son syst\u00e8me\u00a0\u00bb de d\u00e9nomination de rues, indique-t-il. L’op\u00e9ration a d\u00e9but\u00e9 en mars et doit s’\u00e9taler sur plusieurs mois. Les nouvelles plaques sont aux couleurs du pays, oranges ou vertes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les noms des rues \u00ab\u00a0n’\u00e9taient pas forc\u00e9ment utilis\u00e9s par nos populations\u00a0\u00bb alors qu’un nom \u00ab\u00a0doit retracer notre histoire, notre culture\u00a0\u00bb, insiste-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sur l’embl\u00e9matique \u00ab\u00a0boulevard VGE\u00a0\u00bb, qui relie le centre de la ville \u00e0 l’a\u00e9roport sur environ huit kilom\u00e8tres, le nom du pr\u00e9sident fran\u00e7ais de 1974 \u00e0 1981 a ainsi disparu au profit de celui de F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny, premier pr\u00e9sident de la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, (1960-1993).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u00ab\u00a0Expliquer \u00e0 nos enfants\u00a0\u00bb –<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le boulevard de France porte d\u00e9sormais le nom de la premi\u00e8re Premi\u00e8re dame de C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny. Et le boulevard de Marseille a \u00e9t\u00e9 renomm\u00e9 du nom de l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale Philippe Gr\u00e9goire Yac\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Les voies de C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire doivent porter les noms des r\u00e9volutionnaires ivoiriens, des politiciens ivoiriens. L\u00e0, dans l\u2019avenir, on peut expliquer \u00e0 nos enfants qui est qui\u00a0\u00bb, juge Franck Herv\u00e9 Mansou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Bruce Gn\u00e9pl\u00e9, un Abidjanais d’une quarantaine d’ann\u00e9es, abonde: \u00ab\u00a0c\u2019est une grande satisfaction d\u00e9j\u00e0 pour nous parce que le pr\u00e9sident F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt Boigny a \u00e9t\u00e9 et restera encore dans la m\u00e9moire de tous les Ivoiriens\u00a0\u00bb, dit-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon l’urbaniste Wayirib\u00e9 Isma\u00efl Ouattara, \u00ab\u00a0il est important pour les Africains de s\u2019identifier au d\u00e9veloppement de la ville\u00a0\u00bb. Notamment pour une \u00ab\u00a0population qui devient de plus en plus jeune\u00a0\u00bb et n’a pas les m\u00eames r\u00e9f\u00e9rences que ses a\u00een\u00e9s, estime-t-il. En C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, 75% des habitants ont moins de 35 ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– \u00ab\u00a0M\u00e9moire collective\u00a0\u00bb –<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mais la d\u00e9nomination des rues \u00ab\u00a0ne vise pas \u00e0 effacer la m\u00e9moire collective\u00a0\u00bb, commente Wayirib\u00e9 Isma\u00efl Ouattara. Et pour un jeune, passer devant le nom d’un gouverneur colonial \u00ab\u00a0ne cr\u00e9era pas le m\u00eame ressenti que pour la personne qui a v\u00e9cu la colonisation\u00a0\u00bb, estime-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toutes les voies rendant hommage \u00e0 des figures fran\u00e7aises n’ont d’ailleurs pas \u00e9t\u00e9 renomm\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La commune de Treichville, du nom de l’administrateur colonial et explorateur Marcel Treich-Lapl\u00e8ne et celle de Bingerville, nomm\u00e9e d’apr\u00e8s le gouverneur colonial Louis Gustave Binger, en banlieue d’Abidjan, n’ont ainsi pas \u00e9t\u00e9 l’objet de changement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sur les quelque 15.000 voies que compte Abidjan, environ 600 seulement portaient un nom jusqu’ici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De nombreuses rues ont alors \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9es pour la premi\u00e8re fois, en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 des personnalit\u00e9s politiques, scientifiques, artistiques, sportives, ou des concepts: un choix en concertation avec des organisations de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile ou des chefs traditionnels, a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 M. N’Guessan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’ici 2030, une quinzaine de villes ivoiriennes devraient faire de m\u00eame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au-del\u00e0 de l’aspect pratique, la d\u00e9nomination des rues a un impact sur le tourisme, selon l’urbaniste Ouattara. \u00ab\u00a0Il faut vraiment qu\u2019on puisse nommer tous ces espaces, pour le tourisme notamment, pour qu’une personne puisse se rep\u00e9rer d\u2019un endroit \u00e0 un autre et pour que la ville puisse s\u2019ouvrir au monde entier\u00a0\u00bb, estime-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street names in Ivory Coast's economic capital have taken on a decidedly more local flavour over the past few weeks, as African names have replaced French ones in France's former colony. The road linking the airport to Abidjan's city centre, for example, is no longer named after former French president Valerie Giscard d'Estaing, but for the man who led Ivory Coast following its independence from France in 1960, Felix Houphouet-Boigny. France once had a sizeable colonial presence in Africa and several of its former colonies in west Africa have sought to distance themselves from Paris. But while countries like Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali have turned their backs on ties with France following juntas coming to power there, Ivory Coast, which was under French rule from 1893 to 1960, remains a regional ally of its former ruler. While the process of renaming streets in Abidjan began in 2021, it is only since March that signs with the new names have actually gone up in the city. Some 15 other towns and cities in the country will also have street names changed, with the nationwide process expected to be completed by 2030.

Street names in Ivory Coast's economic capital have taken on a decidedly more local flavour over the past few weeks, as African names have replaced French ones in France's former colony. The road linking the airport to Abidjan's city centre, for example, is no longer named after former French president Valerie Giscard d'Estaing, but for the man who led Ivory Coast following its independence from France in 1960, Felix Houphouet-Boigny. France once had a sizeable colonial presence in Africa and several of its former colonies in west Africa have sought to distance themselves from Paris. But while countries like Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali have turned their backs on ties with France following juntas coming to power there, Ivory Coast, which was under French rule from 1893 to 1960, remains a regional ally of its former ruler. While the process of renaming streets in Abidjan began in 2021, it is only since March that signs with the new names have actually gone up in the city. Some 15 other towns and cities in the country will also have street names changed, with the nationwide process expected to be completed by 2030.
