CODECO

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CODECO is a group of Lendu militia in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The name is an abbreviation of the group's lesser-known full name, the Cooperative for Development of the Congo. They are sometimes known as the Congo Economic Development Cooperative.[1]

It was a peaceful agricultural group before becoming a violent rebel movement. The group is accused of massacres and war crimes by United Nations officials.[2][3]
