Ivory Coast tells French Troops to Leave

The Ivory Coast has become the latest African nations to oust French soldiers from its soil. France has been given till the end of January to hand over a military base in Abidjan. The Ivory Coast is considered a staunch French ally, but it wants French troops to leave despite this. Is this a ploy by the President ahead of elections? Senegal has also given France till the end of this year to remove its military presence. Will France's military footprint in Africa get wiped out in 2025?
