La France et la Côte d’Ivoire lancent une grande manœuvre militaire ce mardi 7 avril
It's an open secret. France and Ivory Coast are major military allies. "Fraternité Matin" reports that the armed forces of both countries are launching a large-scale military exercise this Tuesday, April 7th.
The exercise, named "Touraco 2026", will end on May 15th.
Several Ivorian cities will be experiencing the sounds of marching boots and aircraft during this period. These include Abidjan, Assinie, Bouaké, Gagnoa, Sassandra, and Yamoussoukro, the capital.
Strengthening the operational capabilities of the Ivorian Air Force
According to a statement from the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the military exercise, "predominantly air and land-based, is part of the operational military partnership between the two armies. It is carried out in accordance with the preparation and training program of the Ivorian Air Force and aims to strengthen its operational capabilities."
The operation "will mobilize ground and air assets from both armies and will involve the movement of military vehicles and aircraft day and night." This could "cause noise pollution," warns the Ivorian army.
She offers her "apologies to the people for the inconvenience, while assuring them that the necessary measures will be taken to allow them to freely go about their business."
