The video features young locals, hotel employees and the group of musicians, dressed in t-shirts captioned <em>&#8220;M\u00eame pas peur&#8221;<\/em> along with the Ivorian flag, defiantly singing the chorus: <em>&#8220;En C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire, on est debout, djihadistes, on n&#8217;a\u00a0m\u00eame pas peur&#8221;<\/em>.

The group performed at halftime during the African Cup Of Nations qualifier as C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire beat Sudan thanks to a goals scored by Gervinho.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Ivorian authorities have arrested 15 people in connection to the shootings. There is also a manhunt for Kounta Dallah, the man who is believed to have orchestrated the attack.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14970\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14970\" style=\"width:
