AlassaneOuattara is the president

The currency used in ivory coast is west African CFA franc

 There are 25.07 million inhabitants in ivory coast

Politics

The politics of ivory coast are very interesting because it all happens in a framework of the presidential representative democratic republic, in this framework that ivory coast pulled together the president is both the head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system. In this system there is executive power for the president and the government. Ivory coast has more than three decades of independence from France. Before a rebellion in 2002 split the nation in two was seen as a well-developed economy and a model of stability

Human rights

In ivory coast human rights are protected, as in the constitution stands that discrimination based on ethnicity, religion, race, sex or social status is prohibited. They also prohibited torture, forced labour, slavery, genital mutilation and human trafficking. After the election there have been a couple human rights conflicts in ivory coast and because of this some have fled but compared to the other countries is beter than nothing.

Hunger

Ivory coast otherwise known as Cote d’ivoire has at least 13.3 percent of the whole population with undernourishment. Also, about 30 percent of the children under the age of 5 years old have growth stunting, and growing problems. The countries hunger index has a shocking score of 25.7 out of 100. In ivory coast there have been actions against hunger, but this could never help the whole country.

Refugees

Ivory coast has no problem welcoming refugees show after a long history of having refugees, migrants enter the country. Even though the country has had a lot of political tension it still has held their borders open for anyone seeking for a new home and protection

Armed conflict

Ivory coast had it’s first Ivorian civil war in 2002 that lasted 2 years and ended in 2004 the country spit in 2. The two sides are very different from each other as the north is held by the rebels and the south by the government. Because of this hostility and raids on foreign troops increased. In ivory coast there are also a couple religious conflicts held as the Christians that live predominately south and the Muslims that live predominately north.

1. ivory coast I believe coast is second to worst because of its bad conditions as it is very unsafe for its civiliansit is not the worstcountry but it can do much better.

Kenya has a multi-party system as it comes to politics as the presidents of Kenya much like ivory coast is the head of state and the head of government. Kenya is democratic as the people who sit in the chairs in the cabinet are choses by the people from outside parliament.

Human rights

In Kenya the most central theme in its constitution is human rights. Almost every Kenyan in Kenya aspires to have a government that is based on essential values of human rights, freedom, democracy, equality social justice and of course the rights to have food, water education and health these things are also protected there are also a lot of Kenyan websites explaining what human rights are and explaining what is right from wrong.

Hunger

Kenya’s hunger index ranks at a position of 77 out of 119 countries in the world of developing countries. Hunger in Kenya is very alarming as one in every three Kenyans cannot feed them self’s properly and suffer from poor nutrition this means 14.5 million people in Kenya are undernourished, which means this affects as much people as there are living in china in 2005.

Refugees

Surprisingly Kenya is the second biggest country in Afrika hosting refugees after Ethiopia. Kenya hosts losts of refugees from South Sudan because of the war between north Sudanand South Sudan. Even though Kenya hosts losts of refugees does not mean Kenya does not have its own problems because of this refugees are not protected by the government of Kenya. And because the government does not protect these people a lot of dangerous living situations have situated.

Armed conflict

Kenya had a couple of conflicts like for instance their non-international armed conflict against al-Shabaab in Somalia. Kenya also has a couple of ethnic conflicts, these ethnic groups that inhabit the country mostly have multi-party politics which mostly leads to lots of conflicts.

1. in conclusion Ithink this is the third best country because I think it is in themiddle it’s not the worst but it's also not the best and because of this I think this country stands in the middle of these 5 countries.

Central African Republic

This country is a landlocked country which’s borders chad, south and north Sudan, Cameroon, republic of Congo and democratic republic of the cong. In CAR Sango and French is spoken. The capital of CAR is Bangui, and the president is Faustin-archangeTouadéra. There are 4,666 million inhabitants in CAR

Politics

The politics mostly take place in a semi presidential republic. Which means that’s the president is head of state, but the government had the executive power. The Central African Republic has been a colony of France but has been independent for the last 60 years. 

Human rights

In the CAR constitution it is stated that all human life is equal. This means regardless of sex, status, wealth etc. this is good but in spite of this Central African Republic does have a really poor human rights situation. CAR is rated 179th out of all the 187 countries. This is caused by the on-going civil war and the continues armed conflicts.

Hunger 

In CAR almost 30 percent of all inhabitants does not have enough to eat, which means nearly 1.3 million people suffer from under nourishment. Lots of children are unable to grow properly and adults are getting sick. Because of this living condition are only getting worse over the years.

Refugees

In CAR there are lots of refugee camps, refugees are welcome to enter the Central African Republic even though the living conditions are very bad.

Armed conflict

In CAR there has been a civil war since 2012 against the Séléka’s. the Séléka’s have conquered the central African republics capital in 2013. There are lots of armed conflicts in CAR which means it is not a particularly safe place.

1.In conclusion I think CAR is the best country out of these five different African countries as I believe it has the least problems.
