The Military Force of the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI), represented by the Mission's Beninese Battalion (BENINBATT) and its Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration Division (DDR), 30 October 2015, handed back Anyama Camp site to the Forces Républicaines de Côte d'Ivoire (FRCI) represented by Inter-army Operations Centre and a detachment of the Commando Parachutist Battalion of Akouedo.



The handover ceremony started with the signing of an agreement between UNOCI Force and the FRCI followed by a military flag-raising ceremony.



A new FRCI guard then symbolically took over the guarding of the camp which had previously been carried out by UNOCI's BENINBATT. At the end of the ceremony, a visit of the camp was carried out by the two forces.



Anyama camp, situated at 12km from Abidjan, on the road to Adzope, is an old site used by the Ivorian Authority for DDR (ADDR) to disarm and demobilise ex-combatants and stock arms and ammunition handed over by them.
