ANOMIE AND DEVIANCE OF CIVILIANS IN ARMED CONFLICT IN CÔTE D'IVOIRE: THE CASE OF YOUNG VOLUNTEERS DURING THE POST-ELECTION CRISIS IN ABIDJAN

Summary/Abstract: The post-election crisis in Côte d’Ivoire ended with a civil war in which many and active young volunteers took part. The anomic context created by this conflict and the motivations of young people based on the desire of social rang and a quick materiel gain brought about more crime against properties. These deviations have not only caused many victims but they have also degraded social cohesion and have socially relegated these volunteers. To consolidate social peace and make their demobilisation and social integration successful, the authorities and partners concerned, must take into account all the ex-combatants by focusing on their motivations, enrollment and personalities.
