Abidjan is the economic capital of Ivory Coast and the most populous French-speaking city in West Africa. According to the 2014 Ivory Coast census, Abidjan's population was 4.7 million, which is 20 percent of the overall population of the country. Within West Africa, only Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria, surpasses Abidjan in population. Considered the cultural crossroads of West Africa, Abidjan is characterised by a high level of industrialisation and urbanisation.
The city expanded quickly after the construction of a new wharf in 1931, followed by its designation as the capital city of the then-French colony in 1933. Abidjan remained the capital of Ivory Coast after its independence from France in 1960. The completion of the Vridi Canal in 1951 enabled Abidjan to become an important sea port. In 1983, the city of Yamoussoukro was designated as the official political capital of Cote d'Ivoire. However, almost all political institutions and foreign embassies continue to be located in Abidjan. Because Abidjan is also the largest city in the country and the centre of its economic activity, it has officially been designated as the "economic capital" of the country. The Abidjan Autonomous District, which encompasses the city and some of its suburbs, is one of the 14 districts of Ivory Coast.

Komárno (, colloquially Révkomárom, Öregkomárom, Észak-Komárom, , ) is a town in Slovakia at the confluence of the Danube and the Váh rivers. Komárno was formed from part of a historical town in Hungary situated on both banks of the Danube. Following World War I and the Treaty of Trianon, the border of the newly created Czechoslovakia cut the historical, unified town in half, creating two new towns. The smaller part, based on the former suburb of Újszőny, is in present-day Hungary as Komárom (the historical Hungarian town had the same name). Komárno and Komárom are connected by the Elisabeth Bridge, which used to be a border crossing between Slovakia and Hungary until border checks were lifted due to the Schengen Area rules.

Komarno is a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rabbi Aleksander Sender Safrin (born 1770, died August 28, 1818 in Komarno) of Komarno, Ukraine.
Rabbi Sender was the son of Rabbi Yitzchak Eisik Eichenstein (born 1740, died February 26, 1800) of the town of Safrin, from where Rabbi Sender's family name originates. He was a disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin and died at the age of 47 on a Saturday night, after spending Shabbos with the Yismach Moshe of Uhel. The Yismach Moshe appointed his kehilla to bury him in the Ohel (lit. tent) that was to be his very own burial place in Uhel.
After the death of Rabbi Sender, his son, Rabbi Yitzchak Eisik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin (born February 13, 1806, died April 28, 1874), was raised by his uncle (his father's brother), Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Eichenstein (born 1763, died June 22, 1831) of Zidichov.
Rabbi Yitzchak Eisik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin of Komarno, known as the Komarno Rebbe, was one of the most prolific expounders of the Teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, producing volumes of original insights on Jewish and Torah philosophy as inspired by the Baal Shem Tov, whom he calls "Mory V'Rabi" (my Teacher and inspirer), although the Baal Shem Tov died years before his birth. He also wrote insights on the Mishnah and Jewish Law. A hidden Torah Scholar for many years, he only later became known for his genius, piety and ability to work wonders. According to Hasidic legend, he showed a phenomenal ability as a child to foresee events happen before they did. His uncle and foster parent, Rabbi Hirsh of Zidichov, "removed" this talent from him and "hid" it from him to be used at an older more mature age. He was a giant among his generation and although he held positions that were in conflict with the Shulchan Aruch, he never held positions that were not based on the Rishonim and other accepted Talmudic or Zohar sources. Among his other works, Rebbe Yitzchak Eisik of Komarno's monumental commentaries Heichal HaBrachah on the Torah, Otzar HaChaim on the commandments, and Zohar Chai on the Zohar, are classics of Kabbalah as well as Hasidic philosophy.
Rabbi Eisik of Komarno was succeeded as rebbe by his son, Rabbi Eliezer Tzvi Safrin of Komarno (born 1830, died May 16, 1898). Another son of Rabbi Eisik was Rabbi Alexander Sender Safrin.
Rabbi Eliezer Zvi was succeeded as rebbe by his son, Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Safrin of Komarno (born June 13, 1861, died July 23, 1929). His son-in-law was Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira of Munkacs (born December 17, 1871, died May 11, 1937).
Rabbi Yaakov Moshe was succeeded as rebbe by his son, Rabbi Sholom Safrin of Komarno (died May, 1937), a son-in-law of Rabbi Yisrael Perlow of Stolin (born November 24, 1868, died October 4, 1921 in Frankfurt, Germany).
Rabbi Sholom was succeeded as rebbe by his son, Rabbi Baruch Safrin (born 1913, perished 1943). He was the last rebbe to reside in Komarno. He was murdered in the Holocaust together with his whole community.
Another son of Rabbi Eliezer Zvi was Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Safrin of Borislav. Rabbi Avraham Mordechai was succeeded by his son, Rabbi Chaim Yankev Safrin. Rabbi Chaim Yankev emigrated to the United States before World War II.
Rabbi Chaim Yankev was succeeded by his sons, Rabbi Sholom Safrin, Komarno rebbe in Jerusalem, Rabbi Menachem Monish, Komarno rebbe in Bnei Brak, Rabbi Alter Yitzchok Elimelech, Komarno rebbe in the United States, and Rabbi Yissachar Dov Ber (died November, 2006), also in Bnei Brak.
Rabbi Sholom Safrin of Jerusalem was succeeded by his sons, Rabbi Netanel Safrin, Komarno rebbe in Jerusalem and Rabbi Eliezer Tzvi Safrin, Komarno rebbe in Beit Shemesh.
Rabbi Menachem Monish was succeeded by his sons, Rabbi Zvi El'azar, Komarno rebbe in Bnei Brak, and Rabbi Yitzhak Shlomo, Komarno rebbe in Jerusalem.
