Controversy Surrounds Cameroonian Web Actress Mayole Francine in Ivory Coast

Mayole Francine, known as a Cameroonian influencer, faces criticism for a video in which she mentions the presence of dust in Cocody, a wealthy commune in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The Ivorian petition calls for her expulsion from the country in response to what they perceive as offensive remarks.{loadmoduleid 377}

While some Ivorians support the petition, others argue that Mayole Francine's video merely depicts the reality of the country beyond affluent areas. The controversy has sparked a debate about the severity of her comments and the reaction from the Ivorian public.

Despite the petition against her, there are voices denouncing what they perceive as unwarranted hostility towards the influencer. Some argue that her actions should not be equated with the xenophobia exhibited by Algerian supporter Sofia Benlemmane.

In the midst of this controversy, Cameroon is gearing up for its second match in the CAN 2023 tournament hosted in Ivory Coast. The team aims for a rebound after a modest start with a 1-1 draw against Guinea. However, the upcoming challenge against Senegal, the reigning champions, poses a formidable task for the Cameroonians.
