As Côte d’Ivoire celebrated its 66th Independence Day, former parliamentarian Méambly Tié Évariste used the occasion to share a heartfelt message with his fellow Ivorians, particularly those from the Cavally, Guémon, and Tonkpi regions. In a public address, he marked the end of one chapter in his career while reaffirming his lifelong dedication to the nation’s progress.
From political service to academic excellence
Méambly Tié Évariste, a former Deputy of the National Assembly, the first President of the Guémon Regional Council, and former leader of the parliamentary group Agir pour le Peuple, has spent over a decade in public service. Reflecting on his journey, he expressed deep gratitude to the Ivorian people for entrusting him with these responsibilities: « Serving Côte d’Ivoire has been one of the greatest honors of my life. »
Beyond his political career, Méambly Tié Évariste has pursued academic excellence. Over the past seven years, he has earned two Master’s degrees—one in organizational management from Tunisia and another in public policy from Sciences Po Paris, with a specialization in Africa’s potential. Currently, he is completing a PhD in management sciences, with his defense scheduled for October 2026. His academic pursuits reflect his belief that knowledge is a powerful driver of societal transformation.
Literary contributions and vision for the future
In addition to his political and academic achievements, Méambly Tié Évariste has shared his insights through writing. He has authored two books: Vaincre ou l’art de transformer l’adversité en engagement, which explores resilience and perseverance, and Partenariat public-privé et financement des infrastructures routières en milieu rural, focusing on innovative funding mechanisms for rural infrastructure. A third book, set for release in October 2026, will delve into entrepreneurship, real estate, and economic development.
A new chapter: entrepreneurship and development
After years of dedicated service in Côte d’Ivoire’s political landscape, Méambly Tié Évariste has decided to step back from active politics. Since 2012, he has been developing his business ventures outside the country, and since 2020, he has based his operations in France, where he has established partnerships and expanded his enterprises internationally.
In his Independence Day message, he emphasized his commitment to entrepreneurship, job creation, and investment in structural projects. His goal is to contribute to Africa’s economic growth through strategic partnerships and innovative initiatives. He also reaffirmed his support for initiatives promoting peace, national cohesion, education, innovation, and youth empowerment.
A message of unity and progress
Addressing the people of Cavally, Guémon, and Tonkpi, Méambly Tié Évariste expressed his gratitude for their unwavering trust and support. He called on them to uphold the values that define Côte d’Ivoire: unity, hard work, solidarity, and brotherhood. In closing, he extended his best wishes for a prosperous future and celebrated the nation’s enduring spirit.
His message concluded with a resounding tribute: « Long live Cavally! Long live Guémon! Long live Tonkpi! Long live the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire! »
