Moussadougou is a farming community that has rapidly grown to 30,000 people over the past few decades, most of them "immigrants" from northern Ivory Coast. The three men pictured here are from the local Bakwé ethnic group. Their minority status and support for former president Laurent Gbagbo, coupled with claims that as the local tribe they should be given rights to land, have caused tensions. Image by Peter DiCampo.
