Demolition in Koumassi Campement: M'Badon village claims historical rights to the site

On June 13, 2026, the customary authorities of M'Badon held a public meeting at the Gbaprè-djèmin space to claim their historical rights to the N'Da Kouakro site, where 34 hectares of housing were recently razed. They assert that the land has belonged to the M'Badon community since the 19th century and was never sold. While expressing solidarity with the affected families, the notables stated they trust the judiciary to determine responsibilities. A delegation had already visited the site the previous Wednesday.
