notes: On 17 October 2020, two groups of demonstrators engaged in fist fight for the second day in a row, in Bongouanou town (Moronou, Lacs). This is the continuation of clashes that started the previous day, in the context of a demonstration against the candidacy of Alassane Ouattara for a third term. This time, they set fire to the house of the Mayor, and a high school, and burnt the house of a local leader of the FPI (opposition) party and electoral candidate. The FPI leader accused supporters of the RHDP (ruling) party of attacking his house. Two people were reportedly killed, and several injured. [size=no report]
