Organisation
A youth movement supportive of the President of Côte d'Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo and his ruling Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) party. Its founder, and current leader, is Charles Blé Goudé.
The group formed in 2002, as a wider, and more militant coalition of nationalist groups, led by Blé Goudé's Congrès Panafricain des Jeunes et des Patriotes (COJEP), which still is the dominant organization.
This new organisation incorporated:
- COJEP - Blé Goudé's original organisation
- la Fédération des étudiants et scolaires de Côte d'Ivoire (FESCI) - another student organization loyal to Gbagbo
- The campaign to repatriate Alassane Ouattara, an Ivorian Muslim politician and opponent of Gbagbo who originally came from Burkina Faso.
- Thierry Legré's "Movement for the Republican Conscience".

Famous quotes containing the word organisation:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
