2005 Lougouale Attack
editOn Feb. 28, 2005, the village was attacked during the First Ivorian Civil War by pro-government militias. The French army estimated forty to fifty were killed in the attack, mostly militiamen, while the UN placed the death toll at twenty eight. Eighty seven militiamen were captured by Bangladeshi peacekeeping troops in the days following the attack.[3]
The attack flamed intercommunal tensions in the following weeks, leading to dozens of deaths and 13 000 people being internally displaced.[4]
