Movement for Democracy in Liberia
The
Movement for Democracy in Liberia (
MODEL) was a rebel group in
Liberia that became active in March 2003, launching attacks from
Ivory Coast. It achieved rapid successes in its war against President
Charles Taylor and is believed to have been created by the Ivory Coast government as a way of staking a claim in Liberian politics during the turmoil of that country's civil war, or as retaliation for the Liberian government's alleged support for rebels in Ivory Coast. Its leader,
Thomas Nimely, was named as Liberia's foreign minister in the transitional government that was appointed on October 14, 2003, following the resignation and exile of Taylor. MODEL has been accused of violating
UN sanctions by exporting timber from the regions of southern Liberia that it controls. The group has promised to disarm as part of the country's 2003 peace agreement.
