ai generated text

France is to withdraw its troops from the Ivory Coast, a process that will begin this month with the handover of the 43rd BIMA marine infantry battalion at Port-Bout in Abidjan to the Ivory Coast's armed forces. The move is part of a long-planned reorganization of France's military relations with West and Central African countries.
