Actively involved in incidents of abuse and forced disappearances, and in the funding and arming of the militia and of the “Young Patriots” (COJEP).

Involved in setting up the “LIMA force” death squads. During his exile in Ghana, he has continued to plot ways to regain power by force. He is calling for Gbagbo’s immediate release. Because of his financial resources, his familiarity with illegal arms traffickers and his ongoing ties with active militia groups, especially in Liberia, Kadet Bertin poses a very real threat to the security and stability of Côte d’Ivoire.

His troops ran a reign of terror throughout the post-election crisis, killing hundreds of people from northern Côte d’Ivoire. Because of his political extremism, his closeness to Kadet Bertin and the strong links he has maintained with Liberian mercenaries, he continues to pose a threat to the stability of the country.
