Gunmen have attacked a hotel at the beach resort of Grand Bassam in Ivory Coast, with casualties reported.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses say the unidentified assailants fired on guests. Unverified footage posted online shows people running away from the beach.<\/p>\n

Grand Bassam, about 40km (25 miles) east of the country’s main city Abidjan, is popular with Westerners.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast was seen as a model of stability in West Africa until a civil war erupted in 2002.<\/p>\n

The conflict pitted the mainly Muslim north and the largely Christian south. Since then peace deals have alternated with renewed violence.<\/p>\n

A witness of Sunday’s attack told AFP news agency that “heavily armed men wearing balaclavas” had fired at guests at the L’Etoile du Sud, a hotel that was full of expats in the current heatwave.<\/p>\n
