A man dressed as a woman uses a leaf to look at himself on November 1, 2011 on Abissa square in the France neighborhood of the seaside resort of Grand-Bassam during the annual traditional feast of the N'Zima people. The king of the N'Zima Kotoko people and first vice president of the Ivorian Commission on Dialog, Truth and Reconciliation, Awoulae Desire Amon Tanoe, parades twice to convey messages of peace and cohesion during the Abissa feast, which started on October 23 and lasts until November 6. The feast enables Nzima people, who live in Ivory Coast and Ghana, to perpetrate a tradition inherited from their Egyptian origins.
