06:20 On the way to the Koumassi Campement site

đ«đ· *FRENCH VERSION*
More than a month after the eviction operations carried out in **Koumassi Campement**, I return to the site to discover what remains today of this area of ââ**Abidjan**. This video isn't news, but rather a snapshot of the situation recorded several weeks after the events.
The exploration begins at the **Grand Carrefour de Koumassi**. We wander through the streets, past the shops, and experience the daily atmosphere of the district before reaching the **Carrefour Campement**, where I take a tricycle to access the former eviction site.
Unlike what I observed in *Port-Bouët* shortly after the evictions, where many residents had still stored their furniture and belongings, the landscape here is very different. Traces of the former occupation have almost disappeared.
Today, the site is covered in rubble, pieces of concrete, scrap metal, wood, and numerous other debris. Walking requires caution due to the nails and metal objects still lying on the ground.
A few people, however, continue to scavenge for copper, iron, wood, or other reusable materials. Stray dogs and rats are also visible. With the exception of a few makeshift shelters set up near the lagoon for storage or temporary accommodation, the site appears largely abandoned.
The evictions from Koumassi Campement have sparked numerous debates regarding urban redevelopment, relocation, and their social consequences. This video does not take a position; it simply shows the reality observed on the ground more than a month after the operations.
Enjoy your visit and thank you for your support!

đŹđ§ *ENGLISH VERSION*
More than one month after the eviction operations in **Koumassi Campement, Abidjan**, I returned to document what the area looks like today.
The walk starts at the **Grand Carrefour of Koumassi**, passing through busy streets and local businesses before reaching **Campement Junction**, where I take a tricycle to access the former settlement.
Unlike **Port-Bouët**, where many residents had temporarily stored furniture and household belongings shortly after the evictions, almost all visible signs of daily life have now disappeared.
Today, the area is covered with rubble, concrete, metal scraps, wood and debris. Walking across the site requires caution because of nails and sharp objects still scattered on the ground.
A few people continue searching for reusable materials such as iron, copper and wood. Stray dogs and rats can also be seen. Apart from a handful of makeshift shelters near the lagoon, the area appears largely abandoned.
This documentary does not take sides in the public debate surrounding the evictions. It simply presents what can be observed on the ground more than one month later.
Thank you for watching!
