On 30 June 2017, the United Nations Operations in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI) will close after more than 13 years in the country, a period which included the 2010-2011 election crisis. While the security and human rights situation has improved since the mission was created in 2004, the series of mutinies and clashes between the security forces and demobilised soldiers which have left at least 10 people dead since the beginning of the year demonstrate that the situation in Côte d’Ivoire remains fragile.
