• Amadou Gon Coulibaly (10 February 1959 – 8 July 2020) was an Ivorian politician who served as Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire from January 2017 until his death in July 2020. 

亚穆苏克罗  Yamoussoukro (/ˌjæmʊˈsuːkroʊ/;^[1] French pronunciation: ​[jamusukʁo]) is one of the two political capitals and administrative capital of Ivory Coast and an autonomous district of the country, while the other capital of the country is Abidjan. Yamoussoukro is usually pronounced "Yam-So-Kro" by Ivorians.
- Queen Yamoussou, the niece of Kouass N'Go, ran the city of N'Gokro in 1929 at the time of French colonization. The village of N'Gokro was renamed Yamoussoukro, the suffix Kro meaning town in Baoule. 
- Diplomatic and commercial relations were then established, but in 1909, on the orders of the Chief of Djamlabo, the Akoué revolted against the administration. Bonzi station, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from Yamoussoukro on the Bouaflé road, was set on fire, and the French administrator, Simon Maurice, was spared only by the intervention of Kouassi N'Go. As the situation got worse, Maurice, judging that Bonzi had become safe, decided to transfer the French military station to Yamoussoukro, where the French Administration built a pyramid to the memory of Kouassi N'Go, Chief of the Akoué, who was assassinated in 1910 by Akoué rebels, accusing him of being too close to the French.In 1919, the civil station of Yamoussoukro was removed. Félix Houphouët-Boigny became the leader of the village in 1939. A long period passed wherein Yamoussoukro, still a small agricultural town, remained in the shadows. This continued until after the Second World War, which saw the creation of the African Agricultural Union, as well as the first conferences of its chief. However, it was only with independence that Yamoussoukro finally started to rise.
- In 1950, the village comprised 500 inhabitants.
- After 1964, the President Félix Houphouët-Boigny made ambitious plans and started to build. One day in 1965, later called the Great Lesson of Yamoussoukro, he visited the plantations with the leaders of the county, inviting them to transpose to their own villages the efforts and agricultural achievements of the region. On 21 July 1977, Houphouët offered his plantations to the State. In March 1983, President Houphouët-Boigny made Yamoussoukro the political and administrative capital of Ivory Coast, as the city was his birthplace.^[6] This marked the fourth movement of the country's capital city in a century. Ivory Coast's previous capital cities were Grand-Bassam (1893), Bingerville (1900), and Abidjan (1933). The majority of economic activity still takes place in Abidjan, and it is officially designated as the "economic capital" of the country. Yamoussoukro is the seat of Yamoussoukro Department and the neighbouring Bélier Region, but Yamoussoukro itself is not part of the region.

- 在科特迪瓦東部小鎮的一堵殘破圍牆裏，廿多名全身塗上白灰、穿上傳統禮服及手持矛槍的年輕女性，隨導師的鼓聲在園子踏步。她們是精靈女祭司學校（簡稱CIKAMA）的學生，正接受祭祀舞蹈訓練，以便成為正式的精靈女祭司（Komian）時，負責主持各種儀式。精靈女祭司在科特迪瓦的信仰傳統中地位超然，是人和自然界精靈的溝通橋樑，也是確認部族酋長合法地位的唯一主禮人。然而，隨傳統部族式微和精靈信仰漸被基督信仰取代，願意接受祭司訓練的女性日漸減少。CIKAMA面臨收生及財政問題，失修的校舍反映了殘酷現實。目前，CIKAMA仍有兩名大學女生以傳承心態在學，但遠遠補不上年老女祭司退休的數量。可幸年屆六旬的精靈女祭司庫瓦古，以及身為女祭司孫兒的現任校長阿庫亞，都堅稱「不會讓精靈女祭司消失」。據了解，科特迪瓦政府已經答應將CIKAMA列入旅遊地圖，希望它作為特色景點之後，能夠有助籌募營運經費。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20190123/00180_035.html
