The autonomous district of Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire initiated an eviction operation focusing on high-risk zones, beginning with Yopougon Gesco.
Subsequent attention turned toward Boribana in Attécoubé, situated close to the Fourth Bridge.
These operations are slated to expand to additional precarious districts, per statements from the autonomous district of Abidjan.
Yopougon Gesco’s eviction has left behind scenes of destruction, leading to considerable distress amongst the displaced populace.
The Town Hall of Yopougon distanced themselves from the eviction, conveying sympathy.
Meanwhile, the autonomous district maintains that evictions seek to forestall catastrophes during the rainy season.
Boribana is also experiencing the ramifications of these operations.
The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) condemned the procedures, alleging neglect of fundamental human rights and suggesting more humane and collaborative eviction strategies involving consultations with affected populations.
