An animated adaptation of 'Allah n'est pas obligé' (Allah Is Not Obliged), the award-winning novel by Ivorian author Ahmadou Kourouma, is in development. The novel, which won the Prix Renaudot in 2000, tells the story of a child soldier in West Africa through darkly humorous narration. The animated format offers a powerful approach to adapting this challenging material, following the growing trend of African literary adaptations reaching screen.
