Ivory Coast demolitions: Hundreds of people have lost their homes

Demolition crews are clearing homes and shops in Attecoube, an Abidjan suburb, after flash floods killed dozens in Ivory Coast.

Officials say many structures were built illegally in flood- and landslide-risk zones and plan to displace 3,000 people first, with 2,000 more to follow.
