Perspectives ivoiriennes sur la guerre en Ukraine : facettes de l’extrémisme sur les réseaux sociaux
Ivorian Perspectives on the War in Ukraine: Facets of Extremism on Social Networks

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses some of the reactions to the war in Ukraine produced by French-speaking Ivorians on social media. Russia’s increasing influence on the African continent has also led to the expansion of the Russian media, which promote a certain view of the war. Under this influence, part of the population tends to blindly support Russia, even in its most violent actions, and we are confronted with a discourse on the verge of extremism, in the common political sense, but also in the broader sense of a vision that only recognises the extremes, erasing all nuance.
