    Tips

    June 22, 2024

    In Mohamé a bright young villager told me about a memorial built by the Portuguese, who were the original colonial power who had a trading post in Ivory Coast, long before the French arrived. It consists of two circa 4 meters tall columns. There is no plaque or inscription, except the year 1919 on each column. Why that memorial, and why it carries the date 1919, is unclear. If someone finds out more about it, please leave a message.
    It was very difficult to find; apparently a libanese Ivorian built a weekend house complex around the memorial, with a hight wall and gate. The good thing is, that he kept the memorial and allows visitors into the garden to see it; the sad thing is that he totally replastered and painted what was originally a brick memorial. The guarding only knows that several times Portuguese visitors came to see and document it, but left no information.
