This decision, made public during his New Year's address, marks a significant shift in the nation's military sovereignty. The French military base in Abidjan, known as the 43e BIMA, will be handed over to the Ivorian army and renamed 'Général Ouattara Thomas d’Aquin' in honor of the country's first chief of staff.
