Evictions in Yopougon Gesco: Victims Demand Relocation and Full Compensation

The Yopougon Gesco Evictions Victims’ Collective is demanding relocation and full compensation after nearly 250 homes were demolished in February 2026. Spokesperson Rose Koné denounced the lack of adequate notice and consultation, as well as the loss of homes, businesses and livelihoods; she said no families had been relocated. The Collective welcomed progress in its legal case against the Autonomous District of Abidjan, after the public prosecutor called for a contradictory property assessment of the destroyed assets.
