Since January, Ivory Coast has embarked on a mass eviction project. Authorities have targeted 176 neighbourhoods in Abidjan and have destroyed homes without any proper relocation plans for residents. This project was initially presented as a safety measure to deal with flooding that has ravished informal settlements. However, it soon became clear that the operation was actually being used to build roads and infrastructure projects. Infrastructure that the authorities say is essential to the city’s development, but which leaves more than 30,000 people in a precarious situation. FRANCE 24’s Julia Guggenheim, Damien Koffi and Tom Canetti report.
