Seven years on, Ivorian beach resort of Grand-Bassam still scarred by deadly attack

Description

Located around 40 kilometres from Abidjan, the Ivorian beach resort of Grand-Bassam has become the symbol a tragedy – that of the first major terrorist attack in Ivory Coast. On March 13, 2016, 19 people were gunned down, including nine foreigners, and about 30 injured. In December 2022, four men were sentenced to life imprisonment by the courts for aiding and abetting the terrorists. The alleged masterminds of the attack were sentenced in absentia. But the trial failed to shed any real light on the attack. FRANCE 24's Sophie Lamotte and Sadia Mandjo report from Grand-Bassam, scarred forever by the tragedy.
