Le Monde: Côte d'Ivoire president says French forces to withdraw in January
Côte d'Ivoire's President Alassane Ouattara announced the planned withdrawal of French forces from the country in January 2025, marking a shift in military relations as the Ivorian army modernizes. The 43rd BIMA battalion will be handed over to local forces amid a broader trend of decreasing French military presence in West Africa.
Despite the withdrawal, Côte d'Ivoire remains a key ally of France, with around 1,000 French troops previously assisting in counter-terrorism efforts. Ouattara also assured that the upcoming presidential election in October 2025 would be peaceful and democratic, though he has not confirmed his candidacy for a fourth term.
