Perception and Issues of Student Union Violence

Since the establishment of a multiparty system in Côte d'Ivoire in 1990, the exercise of student "unionism" marked by the seal of violence in all its forms, is at the heart of socio-political movements in Côte d'Ivoire. Thus, it has undergone a mutation from a movement of social demands to a movement of political demands with the increasingly noticeable presence of these unions on the political scene. With the "new beginning" of Ivorian public universities, which wants to mark a break with this violence, we note the survival of this phenomenon. The present study proposes, on the one hand, to analyze the perception that the militants of these unions have of trade unionism and to define the issues related to trade unionism. On the other hand, it makes proposals for a sustainable solution to this phenomenon in the context of the "new beginning".
