Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana have recently launched a joint operation to demarcate part of their land border as part of the delimitation process undertaken between the two countries.
This initiative involves the installation of 78 new boundary markers along a strategic section of approximately 150 kilometers.
The operation is being carried out by a joint technical commission, which relies on real-time satellite correction technology to ensure a high level of precision in the border tracing.
It notably consists of physically marking the border along the section connecting the border localities of Nsiakrom/Yaou and Newtown/Afforenou, according to information reported by the Ivorian press.
Thanks to this technological system, the teams were able to install the markers with metric-level accuracy, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the border line. The success of the operation was also facilitated by the participation and support of local communities.
At the same time, awareness campaigns were organized for administrative authorities, traditional leaders, and the defense and security forces of both countries. The objective is to prevent land disputes, strengthen cross-border cooperation, and turn this border into a space of peace, social cohesion, and socio-economic development.
It should be recalled that a joint technical commission was established to reaffirm the land border between the two states and to ensure the implementation of the decision of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea regarding their maritime boundary.
