Ivory Coast has experienced significant refugee crises in the past twenty years. Much of the early contributors to these crises have resulted from ethnic and civil conflict. In 1993, Ivory Coast's first president Felix Houphouët-Boigny died in office resulting in his successor, Henri Konan Bedié, taking power. What followed this transition of power was a time of growing ethnic tensions between the mostly-Muslim north of the country and the mostly-Christian south. Raised tensions led to a military coup on December 24, 1999, which was then followed by the removal of the leader of the military coup, Robert Guei.

| - Ivory Coast has experienced significant refugee crises in the past twenty years. Much of the early contributors to these crises have resulted from ethnic and civil conflict. In 1993, Ivory Coast's first president Felix Houphouët-Boigny died in office resulting in his successor, Henri Konan Bedié, taking power. What followed this transition of power was a time of growing ethnic tensions between the mostly-Muslim north of the country and the mostly-Christian south. Raised tensions led to a military coup on December 24, 1999, which was then followed by the removal of the leader of the military coup, Robert Guei. The election of a new leader, Laurent Gbagbo, did not decrease tensions and so in September 2002, a costly civil war began that has led to the forced movement of tens of thousands of Ivorians. This conflict increasingly became defined through the high levels of involvement of civilian-based militias. Territories under some of these militias suffered significant civilian targeted violence furthering the forced movements of many Ivorians. (en)
