- Students Movement of the African and Malagasy Common Organization
Students Movement of the African and Malagasy Common Organization (in French: "Mouvement des Etudiants de l'Organisation Commune Africaine et Malgache"), generally called M.E.O.C.A.M., was an organization of African students in France. M.E.O.C.A.M. was founded of the initiative of Félix Houphouët-Boigny in November 1966, in order to counter the influence of the Federation of Students of Black Africa in France (F.E.A.N.F.). F.E.A.N.F. was seen by the Houphouët-Boigny regime as procommunist and subversive.[Gbagbo, Laurent: "Côte d'Ivoire, Pour une alternative démocratique". Paris: L'Harmattan, 1983.] ]The formation of M.E.O.C.A.M. provoked protests amongst students in Côte d'Ivoire. In early 1967 a group of over a 100 students were arrested in connection with these protests.
