Resumen Completo

Gabon's communication authority indefinitely suspended major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp on Tuesday, amid teacher strikes and protests over living costs following a 2023 coup.

Ivory Coast, producing 40% of the world's cocoa, set its 2025/26 farmgate price at 2,800 CFA francs per kilogram in October, but global futures have crashed to around $3,500 per ton.

Farmer Frederic Kouassi Kouassi in Remikro says some take low offers out of desperation, while the Coffee and Cocoa Council buys back stocks to prevent waste; neighboring Ghana cut prices 28% to align with markets and boost sales.
