Fêtes de fin d'année en Côte d'Ivoire : Les pétards et feux d'artifice strictement interdits

To ensure peaceful celebrations, the Ministry of the Interior and Security has officially reiterated the ban on the use of explosive substances throughout the country. This measure, enacted by decree no. 186 of December 22, 2025, aims to protect citizens from the risks of accidents and public disturbances.

Key takeaways from the measure

The ban is comprehensive and extends over a specific period to cover all celebrations:

Period: From Monday, December 22, 2025 to Saturday, January 31, 2026 inclusive.
Products concerned: Firecrackers, fireworks and all similar explosive substances.
Scope: The entire territory of Ivory Coast.
Exception: Only special exemptions granted by the Minister of the Interior are permitted.

Why such a decision?

Behind this restriction, the authorities are pursuing three major objectives:

Physical safety: Prevent serious injuries, accidental deaths and fires due to improper handling.
Public order: Avoid panic and noise disturbances in areas of high traffic.
Social tranquility: Ensuring a climate of serenity for families during Christmas and New Year gatherings.

Call for responsibility and sanctions

The ministry emphasizes the civic duty and responsibility of each individual to respect these public safety guidelines. It is reiterated that any violator will be subject to prosecution and the penalties stipulated by law. The ultimate goal remains to allow everyone to celebrate the New Year in peace and with discipline.
