  • Ivory Coast has announced the withdrawal of French troops, marking a significant change in military relations.
  • This decision, made by President Alassane Ouattara, will see the pullout begin in January 2025.
  • Up to 600 French troops are currently stationed in the country, primarily operating a military battalion in Port Bouét.
  • The move aligns with a broader trend in West Africa, where nations like Niger and Mali have also requested the exit of French forces.
  • France's military presence in Africa has decreased significantly, down to only 70% of countries, reflecting growing local sentiments against its influence.
