ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — Thousands of people in Ivory Coast continue to flee their homes because of ongoing land conflicts and residual tension from last year’s postelection violence, according to a report released Wednesday.
The report from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center said at least 24,000 people were displaced so far this year. An additional 40,000 to 80,000 are still displaced from the conflict, according to “conservative estimates” cited by the group.
