France has handed over its only military base in Ivory Coast to local authorities, marking an end to decades of French presence at the site.
According to AFP, the French and Ivorian defence ministers signed a document to confirm the return on Thursday, shortly after the Ivorian flag was raised in the base’s parade ground.
Ivorian Defence Minister, Tene Birahima Ouattara, said that the act marks a new era in the friendship and strategic collaboration between our two countries.
Contributing, French Defence Minister, Sebastien Lecornu, noted that as the world is changing… it’s obvious that Ivorian military relationship should also change.
