The President of Ivory Coast "ADO" Alassanne Draman Ouattara was rolling into the Bouake stadium, which became a rebel stronghold back in 2010 during his presidential campaign.

These are the "Chasseurs Dozo" or the Hunters doing their traditional dances while laying down their weapons.

During the post-electoral crisis in 2011 they had supported militias and those auto defense groups around the Ouattara.
