République de Côte d’Ivoire - Yé Fo Yé Gnè

Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa. It borders Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.

The country, which gained independence from France on August 7, 1960, was politically stable for decades and was governed by the PDCI (Parti Démocratique de Côte d'Ivoire) unity party of then-President Houphouët-Boigny. Export revenues from cocoa and coffee guaranteed relative prosperity. To this day, Ivory Coast remains the world's largest exporter of cocoa. Internal tensions led to the end of PDCI rule in 1990. With increasing economic difficulties caused by the decline in cocoa prices, conflicts escalated and led to a civil war-like situation that tore the country in two in 2002. Since the 2007 peace agreement, efforts have been made to reconcile and reunify Ivory Coast. Since then, it has been one of Africa's fastest-growing economies.

Yamoussoukro has been the official capital since 1983. The seat of government is located in the former capital, Abidjan, which remains the economic and political center of the country.

سوريا (Suria) -  نمضي قدما (Namshi Qaddaman)

Syria is a state in the Middle East and part of the Mashreq. Syria borders Israel and Jordan to the south, Lebanon and the Mediterranean to the west, Türkiye to the north and Iraq to the east. At around 185,000 km², Syria is about half the size of Germany. However, due to the civil war and its ongoing political and social upheaval, Syria no longer exists today as a cohesive, sovereign state.

More than 22 million people live in the country, mostly Sunni Muslims, but also a large number of other religious minorities such as Alawites, Druze and Christians. Before the civil war broke out, the most populous cities were Aleppo, Damascus, Homs, Hama and Latakia. There are eight state and several private universities in the country, including the German-Syrian Wadi International University. Agriculture, the extraction and export of oil as well as the production of textiles and food are important economically for Syria. However, economic performance collapsed sharply due to the civil war, and the Syrian lira was temporarily subject to strong inflation.

The 63 B.C. The Roman province of Syria, founded in 634 BC, was rich and important; after Islamization began in 634, the area alternated between claims to power. The Syrian Republic was first founded in 1930 and became independent in 1946. After a coup in 1963, the Arab socialist Baath Party ruled the country in a dictatorial and totalitarian manner, with a member of the al-Assad family at the helm from 1971 onwards. Under their rule, there were numerous violations of human rights in Syria, which were internationally condemned. As of 2003, Syria was the last remaining Ba'athist state, as the other government in Iraq had been militarily overthrown by an invasion by a US-led coalition. Unlike other Arab dictatorships (e.g. in Iraq and Libya), which originally had an ambivalent relationship with the West, the regime in Syria had already sought political proximity to important and powerful allies during the Cold War, especially Russia, Iran and China and North Korea, which maintained and guaranteed its power politically and militarily. In December 2024, President Bashar al-Assad was exiled to Moscow and resigned from office.
