A large-scale demolition in the Koumassi district of Côte d’Ivoire has sparked outrage and political mobilization. Approximately 34 hectares of the Campement neighborhood were razed on June 3rd and 4th, reportedly based on a fraudulent authorization. The demolition has left dozens of families homeless and without livelihoods, impacting both residences and local businesses. Authorities have launched an investigation and ordered the arrest of Jacques Brou, the individual alleged to have orchestrated the destruction. However, political leaders are calling for a more thorough investigation and accountability. The incident raises serious questions about land rights and due process within the country. The prosecutor’s office is currently leading the inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized demolition.
