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

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