Quand on refuse on dit non | 
so-so#literaryworldtrip Côte d'Ivoire
In 2000 Kourouma published the novel Allah n'est pas obligé about a boy who becomes a child soldier. In "Quand on refuse in dit non" we meet this boy, Birahima,again when he escorts Fanta, the daughter of the iman, out of the war zone. On their trip Fanta starts to teach him about the complicated history of the Côte d'Ivoire.
Unfortunately this book stays unfinished. Kourouma died in 2003 and left the manuscript.
