Alex ArmstrongHOST
We were walking on human beings, yeah, come, coming from, you know, Yopougon.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
We have to go through Bouaké.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
Yes.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
And human beings were on the floor just like that.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
Nothing you can do about it.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
And so we hold...
Alex ArmstrongHOST
I held that cross, and we went through, we went through from Yopougon, Bouaké, gradually on the way in the bush.
Alex ArmstrongHOST
We slept on the way gradually, ah, to Treichville.

Come home to play Gambia, which is a big qualifier, and then go away to Casablanca to play Morocco.
Kwaku Safu-MensahHOST
And listen, he hadn't managed such a huge and congested schedule before with a lot of moving parts, a lot of players dropping out.
GinaHOST
Mm.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
That time w- w- yeah, Côte d'Ivoire wa- was facing, uh, a lot of unrest and, um, and the, the, the, [laughs] the funny thing, I don't know if it's funny, that, um, my supervisor decided at that time to send me to Bouaké.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
At that time, Bouaké was the first nouvelle zone.
GinaHOST
Oh.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
Was the rebel zone.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
My story with Côte d'Ivoire.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
Yes.
Brigitte Karakezi GedgeGUEST
I spent three years and, uh, and a half almost in Bouaké from 2005 to 2008.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
I was turning 40 in December and I was like...
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
And the UN, of course, I was like, I want to leave the system, but still... working in the same area that not only humanitarian because at that time it was mostly humanitarian but i was thinking about local development for me and local development with women and youth because I saw that in, I was working most, okay, Buake is not a village, but it's a big village.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
It's a great city, but the living style there is between urban and rural.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
And for me, it was important to stick on that part of the country, because Abidjan and Bouaké, Amsoukro, NGOs were there and, you know, no big demand of real action.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
She was talking about how to share.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
She's a Muslim.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
And at that time in Buake, of course, men were not able to find jobs.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
They were jobless.
Samuel GnaoreGUEST
And I would say it's, it's, like, it's been, uh, quite, again, like, as I said, right, like, part of the culture because I do remember in 20- 2002 when Ivory Coast were going through, like, a political crisis and all of this thing, I know that in the media it seems like, uh, like the whole country was just, like, divided.
Samuel GnaoreGUEST
But actually people have to, I mean, people need to separate or to make, to differentiate between, you know, political crisis and then how people actually live those crisis, which is totally different, right? So we had, of course, like, a political crisis, but there were, there was, like, there were a lot of, like, internal movement and a displacement between people to help, like, each other, right? So for instance, uh, when the cr- uh, crisis broke out, I and my family, we just kind of, like, left where we were with my dad to move back to Issia, and then when we arrive in Issia, we had, like, somebody else coming from the center region, from Bouaké, also fleeing the conflict.
Samuel GnaoreGUEST
So we kind of, like, gave that person, like, hospitality, and this didn't just happen, um, for our family.
Samuel GnaoreGUEST
It was, like, pretty much the same thing all over.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
I said, "Okay.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
Let's w- let's see the situation like this, but let's suggest to think about working in term of neighborhood in, uh, the, the city like Bouaké, um, Yamoussoukro.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
You, you, you have a good mix.
Brigitte Karekezi DjedjGUEST
You have, uh, in Gagnoa, um, you have this, um, you can have all of them together or some groups, Azaguié.
Daniel PinkHOST
Forgive." Now, one speech didn't end a war, but the moment mattered.
Daniel PinkHOST
And two years later, Drogba helped a national team match get moved to Bouaké, the rebel stronghold, where the government soldiers and the rebel fighters sat in the same stadium cheering for the same 11 players.
Daniel PinkHOST
That one story to me encapsulates how sports can be more than just fun and games, that it can be a way to make us better as human beings, and it can be a window into who we really are at our deepest level.
Daniel PinkHOST
Over the last month, North America has hosted the World Cup.
Nabila AbdullahHOST
Before this campaign began, Ghana were already trying to repair the damage of missing the 2025 African Cup of Nations.
Nabila AbdullahHOST
The GF itself acknowledged before this match that the Black Stars needed the points after their defeat in Bouaké.
Nabila AbdullahHOST
Instead, two matches into the campaign, Ghana have got zero points.
Nabila AbdullahHOST
Two matches, two defeats, six goals conceded, two scored.
E.K. WallaceHOST
Uh, precise intentional plan, uh, is to build a team for the present and the future ahead of the second air game of the twenty twenty-seven African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
E.K. WallaceHOST
And Ghana, who's two, uh, Gambia in their second air game, hoping to air record their first air win after losing to Cote d'Ivoire in their opening game in Bouaké.
E.K. WallaceHOST
To Ghana, after say a call work by a first game airborne air qualifiers, none other Ivory Coast four, HIA two.
E.K. WallaceHOST
And, uh, and Carlos Koresh, the Portuguese air coach, uh, believe you say it cannot always happen if the Blasters want to become a force to reckon with again.
