Police Reform – 2008

A facilitator presented a proposal on 5 January 2008 to integrate 600 Forces Nouvelles security auxiliaries, trained by UNOCI in 2006, and 3,400 additional Forces nouvelles combatants into the police and gendarmerie forces after meeting the national recruitment criteria.¹ The process of integrating Forces Nouvelles personnel into the police and military stalled; however, parties reached an agreement on 22 December that called for the immediate, albeit temporary, integration of the Ivorian police and gendarmerie.² This, however, did not take place in 2008.
